Lewis Hamilton has called on social media platforms to target those who send online abuse in the wake of the fallout of the controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Hamilton was controversially denied the world championship on the final lap in Yas Marina following controversial calls made under the safety car that this week led to the sacking of race director Michael Masi.
Hamilton had looked on course to cruise towards an eighth world championship until Nicholas Latifi's late crash in a Williams led to the call-out of the safety car.
The Canadian has since been bombarded with shameful abuse online for his indirect role in denying Hamilton the title, and revealed this week that he felt he needed bodyguards to travel around London after the race.
