Hi F1 Supporters

Yesterday I was shocked watching the Abu Dhabi Qualifying, when out of no where, commentator Martin Brundle made a racist comment, calling the Arab F1
supporters CAMELS. If the same comment was made by an Arab Commentator calling European supporters pigs, there would have been Uproar.
I love F1 and am sad to see such racism wrapped in humour creeping into the sport.
You can view the remarks on http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; on the F1 qualifying video. time of remarks 1:30 to 1:31

He was talking about actual camels. With humps. It was a joke.

[djt]

your reading way to much into a innocent comment.

I expect the people who threw a tantrum over his "pikey" comments will be coming out of their shells soon.

get a life!

I can't seem to find the video but if you were referring to the point at which HK was waving and Martin said something like 'don't know why he is doing that waving at camels' I think he was referring to the fact that he was waving to the desert and the lack of fans.
