A group of tolerance-challenged sports fans in Spain are giving British Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton the same treatment they give their black soccer players. That is, they're being totally racist.

The McLaren driver, 23, was subjected to racist comments and was faced with a group of spectators wearing wigs, dark make-up and t-shirts with the slogan "Hamilton's Family" on the front during pre-season testing near Barcelona. And although the Briton insisted he still loves being in Spain, he admitted he was not prepared for what occured at the Circuit de Catalunya, in Montmelo.

"The truth is that I feel somewhat sad, I am in love with this country, and especially the city of Barcelona and this circuit, which is one of my three favourites," Hamilton said.

He hasn't really made it until someone throws a banana at him. [TOL]
