Hamilton 'saddened' by racist abuse
Lewis Hamilton insists racist taunts have not altered his opinion of Spain despite the abuse leaving him "sad".
The McLaren driver was jeered and insulted when he moved between the McLaren motorhome and the team's garage at the Circuit de Catalunya, in Montmelo, near Barcelona, during pre-season tests on Saturday.
Pictures taken at the circuit show some spectators aiming abusive gestures and a group wearing wigs, dark make-up and t-shirts with the slogan 'Hamilton's Family' on the front.
The 23-year-old was targeted by some local fans following his public falling-out with former team-mate Fernando Alonso last season.
"The truth is that I feel somewhat sad, I am in love with this country, and especially the city of Barcelona and this circuit, which is one of my three favourites," said Hamilton, speaking to sportlifepress.com.
"The people in Spain have always been very warm with me, and even though I imagined what might happen it has not been pleasant.
"But maybe these types of things make you learn to appreciate more the warmth of the public, who although you always try to be there for them, you never know how important they are to you until these types of things happen."
Alonso has since joined Renault for the new season after a difficult 2007 partnering rookie Hamilton.
"I would like them (the Spanish fans) to understand my position," Hamilton said.
"The only thing that I have done is to try to give the best of myself and try to win the Championship, at no point have I tried to deliberately prejudice Fernando, but the fight has been very tough and my image in Spain has been severely damaged."
McLaren have attempted to play down the problems but the sport's governing body, the FIA, have pledged to take a hard line on any future incidents.
A team statement read: "Vodafone McLaren Mercedes have raced and tested on Spanish circuits for many years, and everyone connected with the team regards Spain and the Spanish people with great affection, Lewis included."
The FIA, however, have warned that Spain could even be stripped of its grands prix as a result of such incidents. The country is due to host two races this year, at Barcelona and Valencia.
A spokesman said: "FIA are 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."
The management at the circuit have also warned spectators about their behaviour.
Circuit director Ramon Pradera said: "We would like to make a plea to the fans to behave correctly. No type of offensive behaviour can be tolerated."
Hamilton fought hard with Alonso for the world title last year, with their rivalry growing more intense as the season wore on.
Ultimately, both drivers were to miss out as Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen nipped in to take the crown at the final race.
Former Sports Minister Richard Caborn has spoken of his disgust at the incidents in Spain.
Caborn said: "This is totally unacceptable. I spoke to the Spanish sports minister when England players were abused a few years ago.
"It is disgusting behaviour and has no place in sport."

Raikkonen sets searing desert pace
Ferrari fired out a warning to its rivals back in Europe during the second day of the Bahrain test as Kimi Raikkonen set a searing pace in the new F2008.
The world champion’s best lap of 1m30.595s was two seconds faster than the best effort recorded during last year’s race weekend at Sakhir as he completed a full grand prix simulation.
In milder and less windy conditions than the opening day, Raikkonen ran through a practice of all three qualifying sessions and an entire race distance.
Ferrari’s veteran test driver Luca Badoer was once again second on the timesheets, on a 1m32.230s, and spent the session focusing on general development of the F2008.
Meanwhile the other team in action in Bahrain, Toyota, welcomed Jarno Trulli back for day two of the test.
However both the Italian and team-mate Timo Glock were out on track for less time than planned after both of their TF108s ran into gearbox problems.
“Our focus today was again on developing the baseline set-up by trying different mechanical solutions but unfortunately we lost a bit of time on both cars due to gearbox issues,” said Toyota’s chassis manager Pascal Vasselon.
“This was a shame but we have been testing various parts, including the new gearbox, and we will learn from these issues to improve our package before the season starts.
“We lost some time but we didn’t really lose any mileage as such because the reliability of the TF108 so far has been very good and we would have needed to control the mileage anyway.
“We carried out some productive work today and I feel we are improving constantly as we learn more about the TF108’s characteristics.”
Glock ended up third on the timesheet, half a second up on Trulli’s best effort.
The final day of the first leg of the Bahrain test will see Felipe Massa make his first appearance of the week for Ferrari alongside Raikkonen.
Testing times from Bahrain (February 5)
1. RAIKKONEN Ferrari 1m30.595s
2. BADOER Ferrari 1m32.230s
3. GLOCK Toyota 1m32.889s
4. TRULLI Toyota 1m33.379s |

Hamilton sambut kemerdekaan Grenada
ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada - Bintang Formula Satu (F1), Lewis Hamilton kini berada di Grenada untuk mengambil bahagian dalam majlis ulang tahun ke-34 kemerdekaan Pulau Selatan Caribbean itu daripada Britain.
Datuk pelumba itu berhijrah ke Britain dari Grenada pada tahun 1950 dan dia disambut dengan delegasi besar termasuk Perdana Menteri, Keith Mitchell dan sanak saudaranya di Grenada.
"Penduduk Grenada amat bangga dengan kamu. Di setiap pelosok, gembira dengan lawatan kamu," kata Mitchell kepada Hamilton ketika majlis sambutan di lapangan terbang.
Pemandu berusia 23 tahun itu - yang menamatkan kejuaraan F1 di tempat kedua tahun lalu sebagai pemandu baru - buat kali pertama cuba memandu ketika bapanya membawa dia untuk memandu go-kart semasa Krismas, hanya ketika dia baru berusia 8 tahun.
Dia dijangka akan berucap pada majlis itu minggu ini yang menandakan kemerdekaan Grenada dari Britain pada tahun 1974.
Minggu lalu, Hamilton, pemandu F1 berkulit hitam pertama menerima tamparan cacian daripada penonton di Barcelona. Apa pun, badan berkuasa sukan itu telah memberi amaran untuk menarik balik hak penganjuran di Sepanyol jika terbukti bersalah.

Malaysia considering night race
Malaysian authorities are considering the prospect of holding their Grand Prix at night in the future, but only if the price is right. Singapore will make F1 history this autumn when it hosts F1's first ever night race.
"We have actually been talking aboug a night race with Bernie Ecclestone since September 2006," Dato Mokhzani Mahatir, chairman of the Sepang circuit told the Bangkok Post. "Since then he has spoken with Singapore and Melbourne as he'd like to see the F1 broadcast from here in Europe at a more decent hour. Having a race in Asia at night makes sense for that."
"Singapore and Melbourne are temporary street circuits whereas we are a permanent facility," he added. "Putting up lighting systems would allow us to hire the circuit out more." |
