Hamilton apologises for 'inappropriate' Instagram post

Lewis Hamilton has apologised for making "inappropriate" comments after posting a video on Instagram in which he appeared to make fun of his young nephew for wearing a dress.

The video was removed from his profile after it started to attract negative comments on social media, and on Boxing Day Hamilton published an apology via his social media channels.

In the original post, Hamilton videoed himself at his Colorado holiday home, saying "I'm so sad right now. Look at my nephew," before directing the camera at a boy wearing a pink and purple dress while waving a toy wand.
