Hamilton baffled by Ferrari tyre struggles

Lewis Hamilton was left baffled by Ferrari's SF-26 inability to sufficiently warm its tyres at Formula 1's Dutch Grand Prix, causing both him and Charles Leclerc to struggle in qualifying.

At Zandvoort, both Hamilton and Leclerc required two warm-up laps to get their tyres in the right temperature window, with Hamilton noting "it's just nuts" about Ferrari's struggle. The performance drop saw them finish fifth and sixth respectively in Q3, equaling their worst performance this summer. cricket-ipl.co.za
