London, Nov. 7 : Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has said that he is keen to put the racism row that threatened to derail his bid for the world title behind him.
However, he does not share Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone''s view that it was blown out of all proportion.
According to The Telegraph, Hamilton was abused during a pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona, in February. Some spectators were pictured mocking Hamilton by wearing wigs, dark make-up and t-shirts with the slogan ''Hamilton''s Family''.
