Police Find No Evidence of Sabotage in Alleged Hamilton Email

Police have informed the Mercedes Formula 1 team that they found no evidence of criminal activity related to an email alleging sabotage of Lewis Hamilton’s car. Team principal Toto Wolff had reported the anonymous email to authorities after it circulated among Mercedes AMG F1 Team members and media figures.

According to a spokesperson from Northamptonshire Police, “We received a report on 12 June regarding an email circulated within Mercedes AMG F1 Team. While we did not find any criminal offences, we provided advice on handling future emails.”

The email claimed Hamilton’s car was being tampered with following his decision to join Ferrari in 2025. Wolff dismissed the allegations as unfounded, emphasizing his and Hamilton’s commitment to finishing their Mercedes tenure strongly.

Wolff suggested the sender likely wasn’t a Mercedes employee but acknowledged the difficulty in tracing its origin. At the Spanish Grand Prix, Ferrari’s team principal Frederic Vasseur dismissed the claims as baseless, highlighting the intense competition in Formula 1.

“I’m putting aside my relationship with Toto,” Vasseur stated. “With 1,500 people working tirelessly, aiming to bring upgrades, damaging a car is unthinkable. We are in a championship fight, striving to outscore each other every weekend.”

To conclude, Vasseur added, “The idea that we would sabotage Hamilton’s car to hinder his performance is absurd.”
