The Story in 60 Seconds

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari have reportedly lost trust in each other following a strategic error at the Singapore Grand Prix, according to Sky Sports F1 pundit Naomi Schiff. Hamilton ignored a team call to pit during a virtual safety car period, causing him to fall from third to sixth place. He later apologized over team radio, taking personal blame for the costly strategic decision.

Schiff suggested the decision reflected a deeper lack of mutual confidence in strategy between Hamilton and Ferrari rather than a simple miscalculation. The result left Hamilton trailing Drivers' Championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 111 points with six race weekends remaining in the season, while Ferrari trails Mercedes by 133 points in the Constructors' Championship standings.
