HAMILTON SADDENED BY RACIST ABUSE!

Formula One star Lewis Hamilton says he has been left saddened after being subjected to racist abuse in Spain. The 23-year-old Briton was taunted by spectators during pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

"The truth is I feel somewhat sad," he said. "I love this country, especially the city of Barcelona. The people in Spain have always been very warm."

The McLaren driver has become a hate figure in Spain because of his rivalry with former team-mate Fernando Alonso.
