Quotes
“I started on the soft tyre, I think it was a very good tyre, it felt much better than my medium tyre,” Hamilton said after finishing eighth at the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix and he is placed sixth on the World Drivers' Championship standings.
“The hard tyre was pretty decent. “It was really difficult to see what I needed to do, whether to push. I was on a two-stop, so trying to use up the tyre, but I also wasn't sure whether or not we might possibly go for one [stop].
“Probably, if I'd done one stop and managed to manage a little bit better, I probably could have finished one spot ahead.”
