Rosberg digs into Mercedes: "What is he doing?"
F1 News
With both Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton at the front of the grid, Mercedes tried some strategic moves to win the Dutch Grand Prix. But Verstappen and Red Bull proved too strong. Former Mercedes driver and 2016 World Champion Nico Rosberg had some strong words in reaction to the race.
Poor strategy
After Hamilton's second pit-stop, the Mercedes driver rejoined the track in traffic. This meant that the Brit was unable to push as hard as he would've liked to try and get the undercut. Rosberg digs in on this.
"They've had a couple of moments, not their usual high level of strategy. Something going on. This evening, they'll be some serious discussions. First of all, the driver needs to go into the meeting, to see all the data because they haven't seen anything out there. The basis of the discussion will be the traffic Hamilton got put into. What I also found bad today was the comments from Bono to Lewis. So unclear, should he push now or not. What is he doing? As a driver, this frustrates me like hell. I'm like come on, give us clear guidance. That was below par from Bono today," Rosberg said on Sky Sports.
Valtteri Bottas
At the end, Valtteri Bottas almost took the fastest lap point from Hamilton. "That one point is worth nothing for Valtteri, so you just create such a big issue. Even though he slowed down in the third sector, he still took it away and that was bad enough. We were going nuts in the TV room. Valtteri, no you can't do that," Rosberg added.
