In the video, Hamilton tells his 5.7 million followers: ‘I’m so sad right now. Look at my nephew.’
The camera then moves to a young boy wearing a blue and pink princess dress and waving around a pink heart-shaped furry wand.
Hamilton asks the small child: ‘Why are you wearing a princess dress? Is this what you got for Christmas?’
When his nephew says yes, Hamilton replies: ‘Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas?’
He then shouts at the boy: ‘Boys don’t wear princess dresses!’
The youngster covers his ears with his hands and turns away.
The video drew criticism on social media, with performance artist Travis Alabanza tweeting: ‘I hope @LewisHamilton properly thinks and apologises to his nephew for that video.
‘Thinks about why it is so horrible, and considers donating to a charity which supports LGBT youth. That video is a video so many of us have experienced. Gross. It sticks with you.’
