Lewis Hamilton was late to switch to the right engine mode in the safety car restart when he lost the DutchGP lead to Max Verstappen Full F1 story ⬇️
for victory at Zandvoort after a strong run through much of the race, but the events were turned on their head by late virtual safety car and safety car periods.
In the end, Hamilton was unable to hold Verstappen off at all as he was out-dragged from the final corner at the safety car restart and lost the lead before the first turn. But Hamilton insists there was no fault and instead confessed to having initially accelerated in the wrong engine mode, which would have cost him momentum compared to Verstappen behind him.
The radio conversation between Hamilton and his engineer Peter Bonnington at the time shows that Hamilton was reminded before the end of the safety car period to change his engine mode into its balanced race setting, which is Strat Five.
