F1 threatening to pull two races out of Spain

[ALS]

I was watching Sky News and while practicing in Barcelona a British Driver by the name of Lewis Hamilton was peppered with racist remarks and fan signs. F1 says it will not be tolerated and if it happens again the possibility of F1 pulling the two races scheduled for Spain could be moved to another track.

I know most will disagree with me, but if that is true I say good for them.

Remember Dennis Hopper's part in "True Romance"? When he's telling Christopher Walken why Italians have dark hair and blue eyes? I think everyone forgets that Hannibal started in Spain and then went to Italy (over the Alps...). And how about the Moors?
Is there such a thing as a "pure" spaniard?

EXACTLY what I was thinking as I was reading this news!!
Talk about the pot and the kettle!!!!

Somehow, I always thought that spaniards were a more intelligent/'tolerant' people than this crowd's behavoir implies.
Hopefully they are, and these idiots are a small, but vocal exception.
Let's just hope that their sane fellow countrymen enthusiasts get them in line and shut them the F up, before Max & Co. shut the rounds down.

I saw that too. Disgusting. My question is why the officials allowed them to remain on site?
