Lewis Hamilton v Max Verstappen: Nicholas Latifi calls out 'extreme' threats he has been sent

Daily Mail  

Hi everyone, I’ve purposely been staying away from social media to kind of let things settle down from the events of the last race. I’ve received thousands of messages to my social media accounts – publicly and via DMs. The ensuing hate, abuse, and threats on social media were not really a surprise to me as it’s just the stark reality of the world we live in right now. I’m no stranger to being talked about negatively online, I think every sports person who competes on the world stage knows they’re under extreme scrutiny and this comes with the territory sometimes.
