Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton says he had the pace to challenge winner Max Verstappen after coming through the field to finish sixth in Formula 1's rain-affected Dutch Grand Prix.
On Sunday, Hamilton recovered from a disappointing qualifying session by moving from a lowly 13th grid spot to sixth.hadn't been on the wrong side of an early pitstop call.
Hamilton's recovery from the back of the field to sixth and his pace in both dry and wet conditions made him believe that he could have challenged Verstappen up front. Speaking separately to the written press, including Motorsport.com, Hamilton said Sunday's race felt like"redemption" after taking the wrong direction on his W14's set-up on Friday night, which wasn't rectified in time for qualifying."I feel like today was redemption, in the sense of it was terrible yesterday, we managed to dial the car in a bit better today and overtook a bunch of people," Hamilton said.
Russell's side of the garage too took the wrong decisions at the start, staying out on softs even longer than Hamilton.
