Key figures agree: No room for racism in F1.

Two more of Formula 1's leading figures have added their support to the FIA's newly-unveiled EveryRace campai🧸gn, insi❀sting racism is 'totally unacceptable'.

The initiative was launched in the wake of the racist abuse suffered by Lewis Hamilton during testing at Barcelona back at the beginning of February, when the McLaren-Mercedes a൲ce - the first black driver in the history of the top flight - was taunted and jeered by Spanish fans wearing black make-up and clad in T-shirts with 'Hamilton's Family' emblazoned across the front.

The project has been designed to send out a stern message that discrimination and prejudice will not be tolerated in either sport or society - a view shaꦉred by Red Bull Racing star David Coulthard.

"Ever since I've been old enough to understand the meaning of the word racism, I've known🗹 it is wrong," underlined the 37-year-old, the oldest driver currently competing 💫in F1. "For racism to exist in 2008 is totally unacceptable.

A website dedicated to the cause has also been set up [see separate story - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:click here], and Renault MD Flavio Briatore agre🐷ed that it was important for grand prix racing to take ﷺa public stand over the matter
