F1 | Hamilton's apologies to Sky journalist after interview in Spain

The weekend of Spanish Grand Prix it ended rather bitterly for Lewis Hamilton. The pilot of the Classic Ferrari for sale he crossed the finish line in sixth position after being outflanked by the Sauber di Nico Hulkenberg. A cherry on a very salty cake for the seven-time world champion, who arrived on Sunday with all the best auspices after qualifying, but the race pace and the balance of his single-seater have never helped him. On the one hand Leclerc manages to bring out the best and even conquer unexpected podiums, on the other hand the British is certainly not experiencing the best moment of his career, and this beginning of adventure at Maranello it's far from what was hoped.

After the race in Barcelona, ​​in the classic interview ring, Lewis appeared very disheartened, and his conversation with Sky UK journalist Rachel Brookes has already gone viral.

Brookes: “I’m sorry to see you so down, it’s hard to see you like this.”
Hamilton: “What can I say? It’s been a terrible day, and I don’t have much else to say. It’s been tough, that’s all. There’s no point in going into details, it’s not your fault. I just don’t know what to say.”
Brookes: “I understand. I hope the team can find some answers for you.”
Hamilton: “I doubt they’ll succeed. It’s probably just my fault.”

The next day, the journalist David Croft, in his usual appointment The Fast and The Curious revealed how, with the cameras off, Hamilton apologized to his Sky colleague, admitting that he was going through a rather difficult time.

“Lewis was really down, and nobody wants to see him like that,” Croft said. “Whether you follow him as a fan or not, he’s one of the greatest drivers motorsport has ever seen. The numbers say it, but I think his value goes beyond the statistics. When he speaks honestly, it shows his true self and he deserves credit for that. He’s done a lot of good off the track too. After the interview with Rachel Brookes, he apologised for his tone, telling her: ‘I’m really sorry, I’m just really down’. It was a private moment, away from the cameras, and it shows how genuinely he felt. It wasn’t a show, believe me.”
