Lewis Hamilton issued a heartfelt apology on the radio after crashing out of the Dutch Grand Prix. With light rain coating the Zandvoort Circuit, the seven-time world champion went onto the painted run-off at Turn Three and lost control, slipping into the wall on the corner exit.
The contact with the wall on lap 22 destroyed the front-right of Hamilton’s Ferrari, bringing his race to a premature end. The 40-year-old Brit was running seventh at the time of his crash and was pestering race engineer Riccardo Adami to attempt an undercut on the likes of Isack Hadjar, Charles Leclerc and George Russell ahead of him.
Asked by Adami whether he was okay, Hamilton replied on the radio: Yeah. I’m so sorry, guys.” This was a bitter blow for the Brit, who was enjoying a stronger weekend until finding the barriers.
