Nick Knowles, 59, has taken to Twitter in a post calling out Red Bull racing fans after a Twitter user posted an aggressive message with Nick tagged in. The expletive-laden post was retweeted by the TV presenter, in view of his 171,000 followers.
It came after upset Twitter user, @p1733ctn, called out Nick, writing: “You really are a stupid sad ****. Stick to DIY and f*** off away from F1.”
The BBC star responded, criticising Formula 1 for being “so happy” to have such fans in the sport.
He wrote: “Another quality Red Bull fan response - always worth showing these muppets up.
“These are the new fans @F1and @redbullracing are so happy to have in the sport.

“Someone’s Mum needs to restrict his access to the internet & tidy his bedroom.”
He furthered on the subject in a separate tweet, lashing out at Red Bull boss Christian Horner: “Good grief. It’s clear in his own timeline he’s a Red Bull fan.
“Good grief - they are all - from team boss to fanbase - incapable of truth even with their own evidence in front of them.”
Nick's second angry post was in response to a tweet by user @Speedworx41, who had penned: “Red Bull 1-2. That’s how to start your birthday.”
In a previous post, the same user had claimed he was a McLaren fan.
Nick’s followers were keen to support him in the comment section, with some urging the F1 to "target abusive fans" of Red Bull star Max Verstappen.
@Yesman073 wrote: “That's why this new FIA directive needs to target Max fans.
“In 40 years of watching F1 I have never known abuse like the kind that comes from Max fans.
