F1 News Today: Hamilton issues Rachel Brookes apology with Ferrari ‘love affair in full crisis
Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft has revealed that Lewis Hamilton apologised to Rachel Brookes following a tense post-race interview at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion was overtaken near the end of the race by the Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg, as his dismal start to his time at Ferrari continued despite a strong qualifying.
For only the second time since joining Ferrari, Hamilton outqualified team-mate Charles Leclerc on the Saturday, but within 10 laps on the Sunday, the team had called for team orders to allow Leclerc – who clearly had more pace – to go after the front runners.
Leclerc ended the day in third, and sealed his third grand prix podium of the season, while Hamilton is still waiting to claim a top-three main race finish.
Following his disappointing performance, Hamilton was immediately thrust into a post-race interview with Sky Sports F1’s Brookes, where he rued a ‘terrible’ day, and was quite standoffish with the broadcaster. Croft has now revealed, however, that it was just down to Hamilton’s negative demeanour, and that he did apologise to Brookes off-camera.
