汉密尔顿反弹至第五，法拉利修复周五问题
刘易斯·汉密尔顿在荷兰大奖赛排位赛中获得第五名后表示，与周五冲刺排位赛仅列第七相比，他对法拉利赛车“满意得多”，并对接下来的正赛感到“兴奋”。他将改善归因于赛车所做出的调整。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿在法拉利修复周五的困境后反弹至第五名
在赞德沃特正赛排位赛中获得第五起步位后，这位七届世界冠军将相较周五冲刺赛排位的进步归因于对赛车所做的调整
刘易斯·汉密尔顿表示，与周五的冲刺赛排位赛相比，他为荷兰大奖赛排位赛获得第五名对自己的法拉利“满意多了”，并且对比赛感到“兴奋”。
“我对这辆赛车满意得多了，”他在周六晚间对媒体表示。此前他经历了艰难的周五，当时他排位第七，落后冲刺赛杆位0.624秒。
在冲刺赛结束后——他同样以第七名完赛——汉密尔顿解释说，法拉利将利用排位赛之前的窗口期调整赛车设置，试图让他找回在唯一一次练习赛中的感觉。
这位车手证实，这最终收到了成效，但仍然让他为自己和车队在一练之后走错了方向而感到沮丧。
“说到建立信心，”他解释道，“就像你一块砖一块砖地垒，把它放下来，砌一堵墙。我在一练中建立起的信心被推倒了，冲刺赛排位赛中我没有那种信心，然后我基本上就是重新开始建立。”
这种进步并不一定转化为法拉利整体竞争力的提升。周五晚上获得第三名、仅比乔治·拉塞尔的冲刺赛杆位慢0.055秒、只落后兰多·诺里斯的迈凯伦0.014秒的夏尔·勒克莱尔，在大奖赛排位赛中跌至第六名——但对汉密尔顿本人来说，第五名意味着他有可能扭转了自己这个周末的局势。
“这辆车的表现好多了，”他确认道。“我对它满意多了。我很期待明天。”
勒克莱尔（Leclerc）则认为，法拉利在周五的表现并不能完全反映真实实力，因为他相信，自己之所以能够如此接近前列，部分原因是对手们没有发挥出最佳水平。
这位摩纳哥车手还解释说，排位赛期间法拉利动力单元模式的改变影响了他的赛车感觉，不过他本来也不认为杆位触手可及。
“我不认为这是赛车改动的问题，”当被问及与对手的差距比周五更大时，他说道。“我和兰多[诺里斯]以及乔治聊了一点，我感觉他们昨天并没有把一切都做到完美，或者赛车感觉不太对，而对我来说，昨天赛车的感觉相当不错，所以我知道我们相比他们可能少了一些余量。
“然后今天我们在切换模式，也就是从Q2切换到Q3的动力模式时，犯了一些我认为的错误，这让我对赛车的手感有点失去信心，我们需要对此进行研究。
“不过，说实话，我认为无论如何我们本来也不具备争夺杆位的潜力。”
由于车队的两位车手都表示赛车在正赛调校下比排位赛调校下更强——勒克莱尔在冲刺赛中超越了诺里斯并获得第二，就证明了这一点——他们认为在周日真正有机会取得进步。
汉密尔顿说：“我认为我们今天的比赛节奏（在冲刺赛中）更好。我的不算太出色，但查尔斯的节奏尤其好。我觉得赛车的状态好多了。我认为明天会更好。”
“所以，我认为我们至少应该能保住领先位置的那些车手。策略将是关键。轮胎寿命，各种各样的事情。”

Lewis Hamilton rebounds to fifth after Ferrari fixes Friday struggles
Having qualified fifth on the grid at Zandvoort for the main race, the seven-time world champion attributed his improved result compared to Friday's sprint qualifying to changes made to the car
Lewis Hamilton says he is "much happier" with his Ferrari after qualifying fifth for the Dutch Grand Prix compared to Friday's sprint shootout, and is "excited" for the race.
“I was much, much happier with the car,” he told the media on Saturday evening, having endured a difficult Friday, when he qualified seventh, 0.624s off sprint pole.
Right after the sprint, which he also finished in seventh, Hamilton explained Ferrari would use the window before qualifying to change the car's set-up in an attempt to give him the same feeling he had in the single practice session.
That ultimately paid off, the driver confirmed, yet still left him frustrated about the wrong direction he and the team had taken after FP1.
“When it comes to building confidence,” he explained, “it's like you're putting brick by brick, you're putting it down, building a wall. Knocked down that confidence that I had in FP1, didn't have it through sprint qualifying, and then I just basically started again building.”
That improvement didn't necessarily translate into Ferrari becoming more competitive overall. Charles Leclerc, who on Friday evening was third, just 0.055s off George Russell sprint pole and only 0.014s behind Lando Norris' McLaren, fell to sixth in grand prix qualifying - but for Hamilton himself, fifth place meant he potentially turned his own weekend around.
“The car was much better,” he confirmed. “I'm much happier with it. I'm excited for tomorrow.”
Leclerc, for his part, reckons Ferrari's form on Friday wasn't entirely representative, as he believes it was partly down to his rivals not maximising their performance that he was able to get so close to the front.
The Monegasque also explained that changes to Ferrari's power unit modes during qualifying affected his feeling with the car, although he didn't believe pole position was within reach anyway.
“I don't think it's down to changes in the car,” he said when asked about the bigger gap to the opposition compared to Friday. “Speaking a little bit with Lando [Norris] and George, I felt like yesterday they didn't do everything perfect or the car didn't feel quite right, whereas for me the car felt quite good yesterday so I knew maybe we had a bit less margin compared to them.
“And then today we did some, I think, mistakes in changing modes, power modes from Q2 to Q3 that put me off a little bit with the feeling I had with the car and we'll have to look into it.
“But yeah, I don't think the potential for pole position was there anyway.”
With both Scuderia drivers saying the car has been stronger in race trim than in qualifying - something Leclerc demonstrated in the sprint by overtaking Norris on track on his way to second - they see genuine chances to make progress on Sunday.
“I think our race pace was better today [in the sprint],” said Hamilton. “Mine wasn't great, but Charles's particularly was good. I think the car feels much better. I think it's going to be better tomorrow.
“So, I think we'll probably be able to hold on to the guys at the head, at least. Strategy's going to be key. Tyre life, all sorts of things.”
