Lewis Hamilton subjected to racist abuse

In Spain!
I'm very disappointed by this, you'd think the dagos would know better.

Up to seven racists were shown wearing white T-shirts with “Hamilton’s Familly” mis-spelled on the front and “Alonso No1” on the back.

They appeared to be screaming and yelling during the test session.

Pitpass.com, which ran the astonishing images, said: “These people are not fans of F1, they are not even fans of Fernando Alonso, for they do neither their hero or their country any good.”

A spokesman for Formula One’s governing body, the FIA, said: “The FIA is surprised and disappointed at the abuse directed at Lewis Hamilton.

“An act of this kind is a clear breach of the principles enshrined in the FIA statutes and any repetition will result in sanctions.”


Witnesses at Barcelona’s Montmelo circuit during Saturday’s testing said sick spectators shouted “black s***” and “f****** black" whenever mixed race Lewis - whose mum Carmen is white and dad Anthony is black - made a pitstop.

Banners daubed with insulting slogans were also seen hanging from the stands. One read: “Hamilton, you speak a lot of s***.”
