Spanish racists target Lewis Hamilton with voodoo-style attacks...

Lewis Hamilton has again been targeted by Spanish racists in the build-up to this weekend’s title-deciding Brazilian Grand Prix.

World governing body the FIA and Hamilton’s McLaren team have been quick to condemn a mindless "voodoo-style" website aimed at wrecking Hamilton’s championship dreams.

The 23-year-old goes into Sunday’s showdown needing only to finish in the top five at Interlagos to become the youngest champion in Formula One history.

But ahead of the race, racism is again threatening to overshadow the event as hundreds of abusive messages have been posted on a website in Spain.

The website carries the name "Pincha la Rueda de Hamilton", which translates as "Burst Hamilton’s Tyre".

Visitors to the site - 20,000 to date - are encouraged to drop imaginary nails, pins or porcupines on a mock-up of the Interlagos circuit. More...
