Formula One has responded to comments made by Bernie Ecclestone on racism, saying it "completely disagrees" with its former CEO and confirming Ecclestone no longer holds any formal position in the sport.
Ecclestone, who has not been involved in the running of F1 since it was purchased by current owners Liberty Media in 2017, made the comments during an interview with CNN earlier the same day.
Speaking about Lewis Hamilton's decision to set up a commission to push for more diversity in motorsport, Ecclestone said he did not think it would bring about any meaningful change, before adding "in lots of cases, Black people are more racist than what White people are".
