My Way - Sports News

My Way - Sports News: "Spain could lose both its Formula One races following the racist taunting of driver Lewis Hamilton by spectators.
The sport's ruling body said Monday the abuse aimed at F1's first black driver during weekend testing at the Barcelona circuit might result in sanctions. Punishment could lead to the removal of two races from the Grand Prix calendar - the Spanish Grand Prix on April 27 in Barcelona and the European GP on Aug. 24 at Valencia.
FIA, the governing organization, said it will write to Spanish authorities to learn what happened before making a decision.
'Formula One is a global, multicultural sport,' FIA said. 'It does not have scenes like this in its history and doesn't want to see scenes like this.'"
