原標題: Hamilton apologises to Mercedes for radio outburst in Dutch GP

內容大致翻譯:
當SC因為BOTTAS的事故而出來時
RBR把MAX叫進去換紅胎,然而賓士一開始先讓兩名車手在外維持1-2名
接著一圈RUSSEL進去換了紅胎,HAM則持續他使用五圈的黃胎
但這項決定代表HAM無力去阻擋後方使用較新軟胎的車手們超越他
最後HAM從第一名掉到第四
在最後幾圈HAM把她憤怒的情緒直接在TR發洩了出來
"我無法相信你們竟然這樣搞我,我無法讓你們了解我現在有多憤怒"
賽後HAM向像賓士車隊道歉並承認是因為想贏的心態而導致他如此的情緒
"我已經非常靠近情緒崩潰的邊緣,我向車隊道歉因為我甚至無法記得我說了些甚麼,
我有一秒完全失去了自我" HAM如是說
"如果沒有SC,我認為我們可以以一停策略戰勝紅牛,其他車隊不可能做到我們能
做的" HAM如此表示
而Wolff在賽後環場的tr告訴HAM會跟他解釋當時的策略,表示他們當時的確想藉
由分散策略來賭看看第一名,而不選擇安穩的二三名
WOLFF向記者表示:
"車手的情緒是非常激昂的,畢竟距離勝利是那麼地接近,接著就突然被吞噬了。所以很
明顯情緒就是這樣的顯現了出來"
"身為在駕駛艙內的車手,你是完全獨立的狀態且你完全不清楚現在場上發生甚麼事。我們
討論了當下的情況,我們是否為了要贏而承擔了風險?是的"
"HAM有了一組已經跑了五圈的黃胎,維持位置是正確的選擇。最終這項策略並沒有湊效,
但我寧願承擔更多風險讓HAM可以贏得冠軍而不是選擇2-3名完賽"

When a full safety car period was called for Valtteri Bottas stopping at Turn
1 with engine failure, Red Bull pitted Max Verstappen to switch to softs
while Mercedes initially kept both Hamilton and teammate Russell out to move
into a 1-2.
A lap into the safety car period Russell was then pitted for softs by
Mercedes, with Hamilton kept out on his older mediums to lead at the restart
from Verstappen.
But the call meant Hamilton was powerless to stop those on softer and younger
tyres to overtake him, with the British driver dropping from first to fourth
and Verstappen going on to win the race.
During the race on team radio Hamilton vented his frustration at the Mercedes
strategy call: “I can’t believe you guys screwed me like that, I can’t
tell you how pissed I am right now.”
After the race Hamilton apologised to Mercedes and conceded his emotions took
over having been fighting for the win before the final safety car period.
“I was just on the edge of breaking point with emotions and my apologies to
the team because I don’t even remember what I said, I just lost it for a
second,” Hamilton said.
“But I think they know that there is just so much passion and I want to look
at it as a glass half full, we came here struggling from last race, we were
fighting against the Red Bulls today, we were quicker than most at many
points.
“Without the safety car I think we’d have been challenging them for the win
at the end on the one-stop which I don’t think the others could do.
“So many great things to take from it, the car was finally working. If this
can be the same in the future races, we’re going to be continuing to breathe
down their necks and we’re going to get that win.”
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, who spoke to Hamilton on the cooldown lap to
say he’d explain the strategy call in the team debrief, said his squad made
the strategy gamble to try to fight for the win by splitting its strategy
between Hamilton and Russell rather opting for a safer result.
"It is highly emotional for the driver, you are that close to be racing for
the win and then you've been eaten up, so it is clear that every emotion
comes out," Wolff told Sky Sports F1.
"You, as the driver in the cockpit, you are alone and you don't see what is
happening. We discussed at the moment, are we taking risks for the race win?
Yes, we are taking risks.
"He had a tyre that was five laps old, the medium, holding position was the
right thing to do. At the end it didn't work out for him but I'd rather take
the risk to win the race with Lewis rather than finish second and third.”
