One of the men involved in the Hamilton Famillyincident has apologised via the Sun.  Apparently it was all a joke.  And not at all racist.

I am sure the Spanish ASN and the circuit management will be absolutely thrilled to read that the security guards were laughing at them since they put out statements yesterday about how racism would not be tolerated and the people responsible had been thrown out.

he's probably worried about criminal charges being brought against him

“We were doing a parody of Hamilton’s father"

This bloke hasn't figured out that not everyone shares the same sense of humour...  ::)

If this bloke believes for one moment that his, and his friends, actions were humourous then I for one am very sad. Is the Spanish education system, news media and community so backward that this individual can even suggest there is no racist offence.

I think its a bit of over reaction.If anyone would
have cut on any other driver because of his
nationality it wouldn't have even made the news

Dogging drivers because of their actions on or off the track, or because of what team there on is just part of the sport. Cutting on them because of their nationality is questionable. Racial slurs are unacceptible in all cases.
