Lewis Hamilton caused a stir on the social networking website Twitter when he used bad language to defend his writing style.

Hamilton, who has over 53,000 followers, responded to fellow users who were mocking the quality of his tweets by posting: “To those of you who care, thanks for your support, am on here for you. To all you haters… I just don’t give a f*** haha.”

He has since deleted the offending tweet and indicated that the whole issue had been blown out of proportion (which it probably has). He also issued the following apology: “Aight, to my young peeps I apologise for the language. Am not venting, I’m always chill. Was not aimed at u. God bless.”

But even amended that later on: “To my people (I prefer to say that than fans) I've got nothing but love for u guys..to the others...all I can do is smile..picture me rollin!”
