Racism in F1
So racism has reared it's ugly head. I totally agree that the FIA should stamp hard on this kind of behaviour. Sweeping it under the carpet is not the answer.
I have been kind of surprised at some of the reaction which seems to almost suggest that F1 hadn't had any racist incidents until this week. It almost sounds like they are complaining about a black guy coming into their sport and causing this racism.
Anyway as many have said, in a time when the FIA seems to make a large number of boneheaded decisions, this seems to have been handled very well. Spain know's it's on probation.
