Hamilton baffled by Ferrari tyre-warm struggles

Lewis Hamilton was left baffled by Ferrari's SF-26 inability to sufficiently warm its tyres during the Dutch Grand Prix, affecting both his and Charles Leclerc's qualifying performance.

At Formula 1's Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, both Hamilton and Leclerc required two warm-up laps to get their tyres into the right temperature window. The struggling performance saw them qualify fifth and sixth respectively, equalling their worst showing this summer.

The Mercedes driver noted they were 3-4 tenths behind the pace, leaving Hamilton to describe the situation as 'just nuts' as Ferrari continues to face challenges with tyre management this season. chincha.pl
