Formula One star Lewis Hamilton says he has been left saddened after being subjected to racist abuse in Spain.
The 23-year-old Briton was taunted by spectators during pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.
"The truth is I feel somewhat sad," he said. "I love this country, especially the city of Barcelona. The people in Spain have always been very warm."
The McLaren driver has become a hate figure in Spain because of his rivalry with former team-mate Fernando Alonso

It's a bloody Fing disgrace and they should have been removed straight away and banned. I do think if it will continue in Spain the FIA will get really tough. It's bad enough when it happens in any sport and society. |
