法拉利车队领队弗雷德·瓦塞尔澄清了在这个艰难的荷兰大奖赛周末中，是什么导致了刘易斯·汉密尔顿在电台上的情绪爆发。
车队连续第二场比赛未能登上领奖台，汉密尔顿获得第四名，队友夏尔·勒克莱尔（勒克莱尔）位列第五——与布达佩斯站正好相反——而法拉利在周日这场72圈的比赛中遭遇的关键时刻显然是什么已经很明显了。
第一次发生在比赛进行到一半时，汉密尔顿刚刚超越了迈凯伦车手奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（皮亚斯特里）升到第五，并开始逼近速度慢得多的勒克莱尔。但由于赞德沃特赛道狭窄，这位七届世界冠军很难完成超车，因此不断请求车队下达车队指令，但指令始终没有到来，这让兰多·诺里斯（诺里斯）以及梅赛德斯的基米·安东内利（安东内利）和乔治·拉塞尔（拉塞尔）得以扩大他们前方领先的优势。
“你们真是浪费时间的好手，干得漂亮！”汉密尔顿讽刺地怼了一句。最终，当勒克莱尔在第43圈进行他的第二次进站时——比原计划晚了一圈——汉密尔顿拿到了第四名。
按照设想，这位英国车手应该在此后不久进站换上新轮胎，因为法拉利赛车周围的对手们都这么做了，但车队选择让汉密尔顿在场上多待了很久，这意味着他最终占据了领先位置。
但诺里斯（Norris）和安东内利（Antonelli）凭借更新的轮胎迅速逼近，到第53圈时他们之间的差距都在一秒以内。“你们是拿我当实验品吗？”汉密尔顿（Hamilton）打趣道，当迈凯伦和梅赛德斯分别在第54圈和第55圈超越他时，他几乎成了活靶子。
这位法拉利车手基本上被蒙在鼓里，不知道为什么他的第二段如此之长——30圈——直到第55圈因埃斯特班·奥孔（奥康）引发的虚拟安全车，这位41岁的车手才把硬胎换成了一套全新的软胎。
“我们不想在这个阶段告诉他策略，因为我们不想把它泄露给竞争对手，”瓦塞尔（Vasseur）说。“我们想让他留在赛道上直到最后，我认为那会是正确的决定。
“夏尔（Charles）本来应该进站的。我们多延了一圈，这有点混乱。我不担心这个。大家都会回到简报会上。他们会对这场比赛有清晰的了解。”
“Charles在某个阶段对轮胎配方的选择有点沮丧。我想大家当时对轮胎配方的选择都有点迷茫。Norris在第一次发车时[红旗之前]用的是中性胎，后来他换成了软胎。
“今天三种轮胎之间的差距非常微小。很难对策略有一个清晰的认识。有时候，我们必须改变策略或做出调整，因为我们在努力向其他人学习。对他们来说这有点令人沮丧。”
所以很明显，汉密尔顿赛后媒体会上讨论的焦点是什么，他在会上呼吁法拉利要有‘更好的执行力’。他以自己原来的车队梅赛德斯为榜样，提到银箭车队在比赛尾声迅速执行的车队指令——65圈时，冠军领跑者在VSC虚拟安全车下换上软胎后，Russell将第二位让给了Antonelli，而这位英国车手自己则继续用硬胎留在赛道上。
当汉密尔顿逼近他的前队友时，Russell起初告诉比赛工程师Marcus Dudley“我们丢掉了双领奖台”，但这位梅赛德斯车手守住了第三名，并在赛后表示这次交换位置是正确的决定。汉密尔顿认为，如果不是早些时候与Leclerc的那场混乱，他本有更好的机会在比赛尾声争夺领奖台，Vasseur也附和了这些评论，称“今天的执行力不太好”。
“你总可以在比赛之后说，要是跑到第46圈再进站就更好了，”这位法国人补充道。“情况是，当刘易斯（Lewis）追近查尔斯（Charles）时，我们原以为他会进站。
“当时我们安排了一个车手当僚机（处于赛车阴影位置）。我们让他多跑一圈。你不能要求他多跑一圈的同时还在直线上交换位置。这没那么容易。如果我现在回顾这场比赛，我可以看出差距所在。主要问题在于，我们没有告诉刘易斯我们原指望他坚持跑到最后。这不是关于推不推（速度）的问题。
这个结果使得法拉利落后领跑者梅赛德斯87分，领先第三名的迈凯伦75分，后者凭借诺里斯（Norris）从杆位出发连续夺冠，目前还剩下11轮比赛。

What Ferrari actually meant to do when Lewis Hamilton felt like a "guinea pig"
The seven-time world champion had various radio outbursts during Sunday's F1 Dutch GP and Ferrari has explained what its intention was

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has clarified what led to Lewis Hamilton’s radio outbursts during a tough Dutch Grand Prix weekend for the Formula 1 outfit.
The Scuderia finished off the podium for a second, consecutive race as Hamilton took fourth with team-mate Charles Leclerc in fifth – the reverse of Budapest – and it is clear what the defining moments were for Ferrari during Sunday’s 72-lap contest.
The first occurred midway through when Hamilton had just overtaken McLaren driver Oscar Piastri for fifth and started closing in on a much slower Leclerc. But due to the tight nature of Zandvoort, the seven-time world champion found it difficult to overtake and was therefore calling for team orders which didn’t arrive, allowing Lando Norris, plus Mercedes duo Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, to increase their advantage up ahead.
“Great way of wasting time guys, good job!” snapped a sarcastic Hamilton, who eventually took fourth when Leclerc made his second pitstop on lap 43 – one tour after he was initially supposed to do so.
The assumption was that the Briton would come in for fresh tyres shortly afterwards, considering those around the Ferrari cars did the same, but the Scuderia opted to keep Hamilton out for much longer, which meant he eventually took the lead.
But Norris and Antonelli rapidly closed in on fresher tyres, and by lap 53 they were all within a second of each other. “Are you using me as a guinea pig?” quipped Hamilton, who was practically a sitting duck as the McLaren and Mercedes respectively overtook him on laps 54 and 55.
The Ferrari driver was essentially left in the dark as to why his second stint was so long - 30 laps - and it required a lap 55 virtual safety car caused by Esteban Ocon for the 41-year-old to ditch his hard tyres for a fresh set of softs.
“We didn't want to tell him the strategy at this stage because we didn't want to disclose it to the competitors,” said Vasseur. “We wanted to keep him on track until the end, I think it would have been the right call.
“Charles was supposed to pit. We extended one lap and it was a kind of confusion. I'm not worried about this. Everybody will be back in the briefing. They will have a clear picture about the race.
“Charles was a bit frustrated at one stage about the compound. I think everybody was a bit lost about the compound. Norris started with mediums on the first start [before the red flag], then he moved to softs.
“The difference between the three compounds was very marginal today. It was difficult to have a clear picture on the strategy. Sometimes, we have to change the strategy or adapt, because we are trying to learn from the others. For them it's a bit frustrating.”
So it’s obvious what dominated discussions in Hamilton’s post-race media session, during which he called for Ferrari to have ‘better execution’. He cited his former team Mercedes as inspiration, considering the late team orders the Silver Arrows quickly deployed as Russell handed second to Antonelli on lap 65 after the championship leader took softs under the VSC, while the Briton stayed out on hards.
Russell initially told race engineer Marcus Dudley that “we’ve lost a double podium” as Hamilton closed in on his former team-mate, but the Mercedes driver held on for third and post-race said the swap was the correct decision. Had it not been for the earlier fiasco with Leclerc, Hamilton reckons he’d have had a better shot at claiming a late podium and Vasseur echoed those comments, claiming “the execution today was not that good”.
“You can always say after the race that it would have been better to do it on lap 46,” the Frenchman added. “The story is that, when Lewis came back on Charles, we were expecting him to pit.
“Then we had someone in the shadow of the car. We asked him to do one lap more. You can't ask him to do one lap more and to swap positions in the straight line. It's not so easy. If I have a look at the race now, I can see the difference. The main issue is that we didn't tell Lewis that we were expecting him to go to the end. It was not a matter of pushing.”
The result leaves Ferrari 87 points behind leader Mercedes and 75 ahead of third-placed McLaren, which has taken consecutive wins from pole via Norris, with 11 rounds remaining.
