YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Formula 1 worker who was repeatedly called the n-word by colleagues at the Aston Martin F1 team has told Sky News the sport has to do more to confront racism in motorsport.

Aidan Louw says he left his job at the prestigious firm's base next to Silverstone after enduring weeks of both racist and homophobic slurs.

Sky's Tom Parmenter has been speaking to him.
