Put a cork in it, Lewis Hamilton!

Look, I am all about having fun and have a thirst for a flute of bubbles at any given opportunity. 

However this short range champagne blast seems a little over the top, don't you think? 

Many have blasted the Mercedes driver for spraying this hostess directly in the face with champagne after he won the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on Sunday, calling it selfish and inconsiderate behaviour. 

I know what you are thinking – “what does she expect, given his track record?” (ha ha, no pun intended)  

And, sure, if you stand next to a wave you are going to get wet...

If I was her I would have most certainly have at least shielded my face. Sorry hun…

Some, however, say it's really not a big deal:

I can think of worse things to happen at work than getting sprayed in the face with champagne by @LewisHamilton .. Lighten up people!

And Lewis himself doesn't seem too concerned about all the fuss. 

Thank you Shanghai! Thank you to my incredible team! And thank you to all the amazing supporters out here! #TeamLH pic.twitter.com/OL0g2mkKN5
