Lewis Hamilton has been invited to attend a Stevenage football game to show support to his home town after controversial comments he made about it last week.
Hamilton has apologised for a statement he made during the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award show, where he said: "It was really a dream for us all, as a family, to do something different, to kind of, for us, to get out of the slums ... well that's what we would say, it was not the slums. But just come out from somewhere and do something."
The comment drew condemnation from offended civic authorities and a wide range of people on social media.
