(UTV|COLOMBO) – Lewis Hamilton has apologised for making “inappropriate” comments in a video in which he appeared to mock his nephew’s princess dress.
In an Instagram video, which has since been deleted, the Formula 1 driver says “boys don’t wear princess dresses”.
He was criticised on social media for the clip, which was apparently filmed on Christmas Day.
The 32-year-old tweeted his “deepest apologies”, saying he loved that his nephew “feels free to express himself”.
The video, posted on his Instagram story, shows Hamilton speaking to the camera before turning it on his young relative.
“I’m so sad right now. Look at my nephew,” he says.
The camera then shows the boy wearing a pink and purple dress, while holding a toy magic wand.
