It’s all peaceful in Formula 1 right now, in any event out in the open confronting terms. You may have seen this. In any case, at that point there’s Lewis Hamilton and the weird instance of his vanishing social media posts.
Over the Christmas time frame, the title holder ended up at the focal point of a tempest in the wake of posting on Instagram a video of his young nephew wearing a pink dress, and Hamilton saying: “Young men don’t wear princess dresses.”
The video was posted on Christmas Day. Hamilton was generally condemned. A statement of regret took after on Boxing Day. Has Hamilton vanished from social media for good? Assuming this is the case, why keep the records open? Be that as it may, in the event that he hasn’t, why erase the posts? Was this a spasm of arouse following a deluge of online feedback for what was translated in a few quarters as him rebuking his nephew for wearing a dress?
I don’t have a response to these inquiries. Indeed, I would danger a figure that there will never be a reasonable one.
Examinations in the course of the most recent couple of days have, however, uncovered a couple of snippets of data.
Right off the bat, Hamilton has evidently not vanished from social media for good. It was, I’m told, dependably the arrangement of Hamilton and his warning group to exhaust his “social channels” this winter; the thought being to make a new beginning in 2018.
A few inquiries, be that as it may, stay unanswered: Why the apparent requirement for a fresh start? Why now and no other year? Is it to stop media trawling through his social media history for posts and utilizing them to delineate stories? What’s more, was the cancellation as well as its planning anything to do with the debate over the ‘princess dress’ video?
At that point, throughout the following day or thereabouts, every one of the posts Hamilton had ever put on Twitter and Instagram vanished. They were efficiently erased over a time of a few hours. In spite of the fact that his Facebook account seems untouched.
Up ’til now, nobody outside Hamilton’s nearby friend network and counsels knows why, or what that implies..
