Lewis Hamilton slams Bernie Ecclestone over his ‘ignorant and uneducated’ comments on racism

Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton condemned Bernie Ecclestone for “ignorant” comments about racism after the sport had distanced itself from the 89-year-old former supremo.

Ecclestone had earlier told CNN in an interview that “in lots of cases, Black people are more racist than what white people are.”

Formula One, whose chairman Chase Carey announced on Thursday a personal donation of $1 million towards a foundation to promote diversity in the sport, responded with a stinging statement.
