McLaren and Formula One's governing body have condemned Spanish racists after hundreds of hate messages were posted on a 'voodoo-style' website targeting title favourite Lewis Hamilton.
The sport's first full-time black driver is poised to become the youngest Formula One champion at the age of 23 in Monday morning's season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix.
Hamilton leads Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa by seven points, meaning the Briton need only finish fifth to take the title even if his Brazilian rival wins the race.
The International Automobile Federation says the obscene, hateful and abusive comments posted on a Spanish website "have no place in sport or society".
