F1 pundit David Croft revealed that Lewis Hamilton reportedly apologized to Sky Sports reporter Rachel Brookes after the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix. Croft explained that Hamilton felt sorry for being low on energy, and fans empathized with him.
The seven-time world champion's journey with Ferrari hasn't been smooth, as he has struggled to adjust to the car since the beginning of the year. Despite heavy expectations, the Brit has been consistently outperformed by his teammate, Charles Leclerc.
Moreover, during the Spanish GP, he was overtaken by Nico Hulkenberg of Sauber and lost his P5 spot to drop to P6, whereas Leclerc got a podium at P3. Hamilton was significantly disappointed after the race, as he appeared low on energy while speaking to Sky Sports' Rachel Brookes in a post-race interview.

Lewis Hamilton deemed the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix as the 'worst experience' of the 2025 season. He had no knowledge as to what caused such a drop in performance that dropped him to P6.
Meanwhile, Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur reacted to Hamilton's assessment and admitted that his driver had issues with the car. Talking to Planet F1, Vasseur said:
“It’s not the case. I think he did 70% of the race in front of Russell. I’m not sure that Russell said that the race was a disaster, but then we had an issue with the car the last stint before the safety, and the result is not good. But he did 45 laps in front of Russell."
Vasseur, however, refused to spill any details about the alleged damage to the car and the extent of the issue faced by Lewis Hamilton in Barcelona.
