Lewis Hamilton had a disappointing outing at the Dutch GP

Heading into the Dutch GP at Zandvoort this past weekend, Hamilton was 24 points behind his teammate George Russell following his crash with Fernando Alonso at Spa. Still standing strong in the drivers' championship, Hamilton was looking to close the gap this weekend.

However, in a catastrophic strategy call, Mercedes botched the seven-time world champion's chances at a possible win. The Silver Arrows ran strongly throughout the race, which perfectly positioned them for a late safety car prompted by Yuki Tsunoda.

Unfortunately for the German outfit, they overestimated the performance of the Medium tires when they pitted Hamilton for a set. When the safety car ended, the Briton quickly realized just how slow the Mediums were as he dropped from second all the way down to P4. He was understandably upset, having been in a position to challenge for the win.

The F1 circus next heads to 'The Temple of Speed' for the Monza GP with Max Verstappen leading the drivers' championship by 109 points.
