Hamilton saddened and hurt by Ecclestone’s racism comments

Associated Press  

PARIS — Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has criticized “ignorant and uneducated” comments by former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. Hamilton, a six-time world champion and the only Black driver in F1, was shocked by Ecclestone’s claim during an interview with broadcaster CNN on Friday that “in lots of cases, Black people are more racist” than white people. Because I think in lots of cases, Black people are more racist than what white people are.” Challenged to give evidence, Ecclestone replied: “Things over the years I’ve noticed and there’s no need for it.” Hamilton recently attended a Black Lives Matter march in London. “What else could you do?” Asked if F1 should have done more over time to fight racism, Ecclestone replied “they’re too busy trying to win races or find sponsors, so really other things have little if any interest.” Hamilton said those comments were indicative of a deep-seated problem. “At a time when unity is needed to tackle racism and inequality, we completely disagree with Bernie Ecclestone’s comments that have no place in F1 or society,” F1 said.
