I first condemned the attacks and would do it again but that’s not the case: THERE WAS NO RACIST ABUSE!!! If Lewis had not been black the insults would have been the same, honestly. It looks like british media was just trying to sell more papers and probably it worked out. People was “absolutely out of order”? Yes, sure. But no racial abuse... Guys,

But it does not mean that racist abuse didn't happen and it does not justify the actions of the people involved who, as Webber said, were: "absolutely out of order."

WE didn't, WE made an mountain of a molehill, and over time this week I've got some backing, these clipped from some popular sites: Webber said he believes that some of the worst behaviour regarding the racism controversy was conducted by the media. Massa, de la Rosa, play down racism scandal .......... I suspect these folks are closer to the problem than we, I concur with them!

I can understand why some people don't like Lewis Hamilton, what he has done or what he has said. But none of it could ever justify giving him racial abuse, and the same goes for any other human being. Criticism does not justify racism.
