PARIS - Even though he deleted the pro-vegan post that started the trouble, Lewis Hamilton continued to be the centre of social media debate on Thursday . It is not the first time.
If a long list of previous controversies are any indication, the social-media furore around his post - with many strongly supportive and many violently opposed - is unlikely to deflect the Mercedes driver. Hamilton is used to flak. In November 2015, he drew the ire of animals rights groups for posts on Twitter and Facebook that he felt expressed his love of cute, furry animals.
Hamilton had to write a letter of apology to Jean Todt, the president of the governing body of motor sports. Before the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix, he switched apps and got in trouble for using Snapchat during an official press conference. He posted bunny-ear photos, with the caption:"This is s-- killing me."
"I'm so sad right now. Look at my nephew," the British driver wrote. The video contains an exchange which ends with Hamilton shouting:"Boys don't wear princess dresses" which led to the youngster covering his ears.
