YEONGAM (South Korea): Lewis Hamilton said he would handle social media with care after causing a Twitter flap earlier in the week with a message accusing McLaren team mate Jenson Button of disrespect by ‘unfollowing’ him.

The 2008 Formula One world champion has been an enthusiastic user of the medium, acquiring some 1.2 million followers. Some of his more trigger-happy tweets have generated plenty of news coverage for all the wrong reasons, however.
