F1 News Today: Hamilton Issues Apology to Rachel Brookes Amid Ferrari ‘Love Affair in Full Crisis’
In a dramatic turn of events both on and off the track, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has publicly apologized to Sky Sports F1 presenter Rachel Brookes following a tense exchange during a recent media session. The incident, which occurred after a heated race weekend, drew criticism from fans and pundits alike who felt Hamilton’s tone was unnecessarily sharp.
Hamilton addressed the matter directly on social media, stating, “I want to sincerely apologize to Rachel Brookes. I let my emotions get the better of me and I should have handled things differently. I have nothing but respect for the work she and her colleagues do week in and week out.”
The apology comes at a time of mounting pressure for Hamilton as his highly-publicized switch to Ferrari seems to be hitting rocky ground. Sources close to the team describe the situation as a “love affair in full crisis,” with internal tensions and underwhelming performances casting a shadow over what was once seen as a dream partnership.
Ferrari, still struggling to find consistency in 2025, has failed to deliver the competitive edge Hamilton was promised, and reports suggest growing friction between the British driver and key figures within the Scuderia. Paddock whispers hint at strategic disagreements and misaligned expectations that could derail the team’s campaign if not addressed swiftly.
As the F1 circus heads into the next Grand Prix weekend, all eyes will be on Hamilton not only for his performance on track but also for how he navigates the increasingly complex dynamics of life in red.
