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.

Hamilton crossed the line in Spain down in seventh, and was only promoted to sixth due to a late penalty for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

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.

Hamilton’s Ferrari woes continue

Following a dismal start to life with Ferrari, Hamilton put in a brilliant performance at the Imola Grand Prix to achieve his best grand prix finish of the season, coming home in fourth having started the race down in 11th, starting the second triple-header of the season off in fantastic form.

These past two poor results mean that Hamilton is rooted in sixth in the drivers’ championship, 23 points ahead of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli in seventh, but also 23 points behind Leclerc.
