Sir Lewis Hamilton expressed that he was unable to go any faster during qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix, resulting in a disappointing 13th place position. The seven-time world champion was knocked out in the second qualifying session. The weather conditions were unpredictable, and this caused some drivers to make mistakes and crash, including Charles Leclerc from Ferrari and Logan Sargeant from Williams. Hamilton struggled during the race because the track became dry and hot, which made it difficult for him to use his intermediate tires effectively at the Zandvoort circuit. The Mercedes guy told Sky Sports that he did two quick laps at the end, but his tires got too hot. So, he couldn't do better on the last lap. It's not easy to pass other cars in Zandvoort, and this weekend the cars are all similar in speed, so it will be difficult for the 38-year-old driver to finish with a lot of points. When asked what car he will use for Sunday's race, Hamilton said he will use the same car he used for qualifying, but he didn't think it was very good. ‘It would be good if our car becomes heavier because then we might be able to move forward faster in the race. ' Moving ahead on this path is not simple, but I will try my best tomorrow because it's a fresh start.

Max Verstappen, who is currently in the lead of the championship, secured a significant advantage to claim the pole position. However, it is worth noting that the top six drivers are from six different teams, which makes the race very exciting. British drivers Lando Norris and George Russell finished in second and third place. Surprisingly, Alex Albon managed to bring his Williams car to fourth place, ahead of Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr. This session was really good. Qualy used to be one of my strong points at the beginning of the year, but lately, it hasn't been going well. " Russell said "It was nice to take a break and now I have new ideas. I feel refreshed and confident that we will have a great chance at getting a top position tomorrow. " The lap was okay. We find it difficult when the weather is rainy or when we have to switch to smooth tires. It's important to warm up the tires in these situations. But we understand that what makes us weak on Saturdays gives us strength on Sundays. The race is going to be very thrilling. I think Max will go for a drive and say hello to the people on Sunday, but I also hope that we can have a fun competition with Alex, Lando, and everyone else. "
