Esteban Ocon made good use of the 'block' button on Twitter recently, showing the door to some discourteous fans of team mate Sergio Perez.
The Force India pair's recent run-ins in Canada and Baku led Mexican supporters of Perez to express in no uncertain terms what they thought of the 20-year-old, sending their vile comments to the Frenchman's Twitter account.
But Ocon obviously doesn't take kindly to abuse and sent the social media perpetrators back to where they came from.
"I blocked them because they insulted my parents, and that is not healthy," said Ocon.
"It's just a sport -- we fight hard, but we're not murderers. So people need to calm down."
Is Ocon worried about travelling to Mexico later this year for his team mate's home race?
"I think everything will be fine," he insisted.
"I never said anything bad about Mexico. I like the country, I had a great time there in the past and I have a good relationship with Sergio."
