F1 Today | Hamilton accused of ‘sulking’ at Ferrari as Norris makes amends with Colapinto

Lewis Hamilton has found himself at the centre of attention following a column by Giorgio Terruzzi in Corriere della Sera, with the Italian journalist suggesting that tensions have emerged within Ferrari. Terruzzi described Hamilton as ‘sulking’ and argued that the Briton’s relationship with team principal Fred Vasseur may have deteriorated, with the seven-time World Champion reportedly feeling that Vasseur has shown too much closeness towards Charles Leclerc.

The article also examined possible reasons behind Hamilton’s apparent frustration, pointing to his recent results and suggesting that his relationship with Ferrari’s trackside personnel has been ‘far from peaceful’.

Terruzzi claimed that some figures within Maranello believe mistakes have been made on the car of a ‘champion who doesn’t tolerate embarrassment’, while others reportedly feel Hamilton has placed responsibility on the engineers after performances below expectations. Despite the speculation, Hamilton remains ahead of Leclerc in the championship standings this season.

Lando Norris has addressed the controversy surrounding his comments about Franco Colapinto following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, confirming that he contacted the Alpine driver privately to apologise. The McLaren driver was left frustrated after his race ended prematurely in Baku, with the incident involving Colapinto becoming one of the main talking points of his weekend. Norris admitted that his reaction immediately after the race went too far and that the emotions of the moment influenced his choice of words.

The comments quickly spread across social media, leading to significant criticism and an increasingly heated debate among fans. Norris subsequently took responsibility for what he said, acknowledging that drivers make mistakes when racing on the limit and that he has experienced similar situations during his own career. He also confirmed that the matter with Colapinto has been settled privately, with the pair reaching an understanding and remaining on good terms ahead of the next Formula 1 weekend.
