Hamilton was subjected racist abuse from spectators with blacked-up faces and wearing wigs at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona a fortnight ago, an incident which has led the FIA to launch their 'Racing Against Racism' campaign at this year's Spanish Grand Prix in April. But Ecclestone said: "I don't think it's necessary. It just gives attention to the people who want attention. I think they just like to abuse people. It was a one-off, nothing to worry about."
