Lewis Hamilton Apologised and Faced Sack Threat After 2025 Spanish Grand Prix Crash
Lewis Hamilton’s 2025 Spanish Grand Prix was a tough day for the seven-time World Champion, marked by a collision with his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc that left both drivers out of the race. The crash added to the growing pressure Hamilton has faced since his high-profile move to Ferrari this season.
The incident unfolded mid-race when Hamilton and Leclerc came into close contact battling for position. Neither driver emerged unscathed, with both forced to retire soon after. The collision was a huge blow to Ferrari’s championship hopes and frustrated fans and team members alike.
Following the crash, Hamilton issued a sincere apology to the team, acknowledging the impact his actions had on their collective performance. The apology reflected Hamilton’s awareness of the stakes and the importance of teamwork in Formula 1.
However, Ferrari’s management was far from pleased. In a stern message to both Hamilton and Leclerc, team principals warned that any future intra-team collisions would not be tolerated and could lead to severe consequences, including the possibility of termination. The ultimatum underlined Ferrari’s need for unity and discipline, especially as they compete in a fiercely contested season.
Hamilton’s struggles at Ferrari have been well documented. Despite his legendary career, adapting to a new car and team environment has proven challenging. The Spanish Grand Prix incident, along with earlier difficulties such as losing positions due to team orders and battling with car setup issues, has made this season one of his most difficult in years.
Hamilton described the race as one of the worst experiences of his career, emphasizing the mental and emotional toll. The crash and subsequent warning have made it clear that Ferrari expects a quick turnaround in driver harmony and results.
As the season moves forward, all eyes are on Hamilton and Ferrari to see how they handle the pressure, rebuild trust, and strive for success together.
