The 32-year-old's actions drew criticism on social media from users who felt his nephew should be free to wear whatever he wanted. He took down the Instagram post and later tweeted an apology, which has also now been deleted. He was further criticised for liking some of the replies to his Twitter post, one of which said he had no need to apologise to the "PC brigade".The #F1 world champion's biggest social media account is now bare... https://t.co/sDk97oeFEr

"Yesterday I was playing around with my nephew and realised that my words were inappropriate so I removed the post," Hamilton wrote in his Twitter apology. Now all that remains on the photo sharing site on Hamilton's official page is the message 'Dare to be the greatest. Inspire, spread love, and live every day to the fullest.'Lewis Hamilton Instagram account emptied https://t.co/tvh3MHIwWF pic.twitter.com/5UIYcELDof
