Apr.24 (GMM) F1's governing body intends to push ahead with the launch of its anti-racism campaign at Barcelona this weekend, British newspapers insist.
Despite some uncertainty as to whether the Max Mosley sex scandal might delay the launch, newspapers including the Telegraph, Daily Mail and Independent report that the FIA plans to kick-start 'Race Against Racism' on Thursday at the Circuit de Catalunya.In the recent pre-season testing period, the track was the venue of ugly racist scenes waged against local anti-hero Lewis Hamilton by a group of Spanish Fernando Alonso loyalists.Hamilton, F1's only black driver, said earlier this week: "The circuit is great. We can't ever lose it from the calendar."It always sees competitive racing and there are so many enthusiastic fans there all the time which makes for a great atmosphere."
