Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur has clarified the circumstances surrounding Lewis Hamilton's radio outbursts during the Dutch Grand Prix. Hamilton finished fourth, with teammate Charles Leclerc in fifth.

He called for team orders, which didn't arrive, allowing others to gain an advantage. Hamilton expressed frustration over the radio, saying "Great way of wasting time guys, good job!"
