Hamilton says he suffered racist abuse at school

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he regularly faced racist abuse while at school, revealing it was the most traumatizing and difficult time in his life. "I think for me, school was probably the most traumatizing and most difficult part of my life. I think at the time of that particular school, I was probably one of three kids of color, and just bigger, stronger, bullying kids were throwing me around a lot of the time," he said.
