It will be a bad day for the sport when people want to express their dislike of a black driver, but can't because that is racial discrimination.

The fact that people in the UK don't realize is that Hamilton is loathed in much of the world because of his tactics and personality.

All the way through the different racing levels he used tactics, aggression and exploitation of rules to advance himself.

People don't like that, and he arrived in F1 carrying heavy baggage.

You can't use the racial slur to remove that from him.

His basic problem is his personality, driving aggression and recourse to stewards when something happened to him.

It is not racial, it is just that people in most other countries think that he is basically a sh*t, and don't like him.

Now he is using the race card to try and silence his critics.

I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but I am just passing on to innocent UK enthusiasts what the rest of the world think.
