  "summary": "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.\n\nHamilton had overtaken Oscar Piastri for fifth and was closing in on Leclerc, but struggled to overtake due to the tight nature of the Zandvoort circuit. 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!\"\n\nHamilton later caught up to Leclerc and asked to be let through, but Leclerc resisted and was left out for an extra lap before being ordered to pit. According to BBC Sport, Hamilton felt this delay could have cost him second place. He finished fourth, 59 points behind championship leader Kimi Antonelli.",
