Hamilton in F1 'Ali G' racist furoreAn extraordinary interview given by Lewis Hamilton in the aftermath of Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, in which he lashed out at the FIA's race stewards, hinting at potential racism, could land the McLaren driver in deep trouble with Formula One's governing body.
Hamilton was handed two drive-through penalties, the second retrospective, en route to sixth place in a chaotic and thrilling race. Having been summoned to see the stewards to discuss the second incident, a tangle with Williams' Pastor Maldonado which forced the Venezuelan rookie out of the race, a visibly furious Hamilton appeared to question their motives.
"You know what? Out of six races I've been to the stewards five times," he told the BBC. "It's a joke. It's an absolute frickin' joke." Asked why he might be such a magnet for them, Hamilton said: "Maybe it's because I'm black?" before adding: "That's what Ali G says. I dunno."
