Lewis Hamilton snapped in his post-race interview and looked visibly emotional as he bemoaned more struggles in Ferrari. The seven-time world champion was gunning for his first podium since joining the Italian team, but eventually finished P6 and was overtaken by Nico Hulkenberg late in the Spanish Grand Prix.
He complained that “something is wrong with the car” over his team radio and when asked for his immediate thoughts on the race by Sky Sports F1, a downbeat Hamilton replied: “Not particularly, it was not a great day. The strategy was good, the team did a great job. Just, that’s it.”
Sky interviewer Rachel Brooks stepped in to tell Hamilton, “I hate seeing you in this mood”, only for the 40-year-old to snap back, replying: “Well what do you want me to say!? I had a really bad day and I’ve got nothing to say.
“It was a difficult day, I’ve got nothing else to add to it. There’s no point explaining it. It’s not your fault I’ve just not got anything to say.”
Offering a crumb of comfort, Brooks told Hamilton that she hopes Ferrari can find some answers for him, but the Brit simply replied: “I’m sure they won’t, the answer is probably just me.”
