  "summary": "Lewis Hamilton expressed his bafflement at Ferrari's struggles with warming up their tyres during the Dutch Grand Prix. According to Motorsport.com, Hamilton and Charles Leclerc both required two warm-up laps to get their tyres to the right temperature, ultimately qualifying fifth and sixth in Q3. This performance equalled their worst of the summer.\n\nHamilton did report being much happier with his car on Saturday compared to Friday, after the team made changes to the setup. He explained that building confidence was a gradual process, and that the team had to start over after a difficult Friday. However, this improvement did not translate to Ferrari becoming more competitive overall, with Leclerc having been third on Friday evening.\n\nHamilton's comments suggest that he was frustrated with the direction the team had taken after the first practice session. Yahoo Sports reported that Hamilton had qualified seventh on Friday, 0.624s off the sprint pole, but was able to improve his performance on Saturday.",
