People ought to think a little bit and think: ‘Well, what the hell. Somebody’s not the same as white people and black people should think the same thing about white people.’“In lots of cases, black people are more racist than what white people are.”Last week, Hamilton announced his intention to set up a commission to increase black representation in motorsport. Ecclestone went on to claim that he would be “really unhappy” if Hamilton took past instances of racist abuse seriously.
