Lewis Hamilton is in hot water over a controversial family video.
Lewis Hamilton’s sensational year is coming to an unfortunate end, as the Formula 1 World Champion is in hot water over a video he shared of his nephew.
Hamilton is likely the most active driver on social media, and he gives fans unprecedented access to his life on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and other platforms. Just after Christmas, Hamilton shot a video of his nephew wearing a princess dress, and told him “boys don’t wear princess dresses.”

The clip quickly went viral, and many social media users slammed Hamilton for gender shaming his nephew.
Hamilton initially posted an apology to Twitter, which was later deleted.
Just a few days later, Hamilton has now deleted all of his tweets going back to October, and has wiped every one of his Instagram posts .
It’s entirely unclear what’s going on with Hamilton’s accounts at the moment, but it would be a big loss for fans if he decides to dial back his social media use.
So, why the interest in the systematic wiping of @LewisHamilton ’s Instagram and twitter profiles? As one of the most prolific social media users in F1, his feed has allowed unrivalled access to the sport and his life for fans around the world. Wiping all content thus a surprise.
