Pictures showed a man with a blacked-up face, arms and hands, wearing a McLaren T-shirt and holding a Formula One style steering wheel among fans at the Circuit de Catalunya.

It comes after an incident during a test session there 15 months ago when a group of people with their faces painted black, wearing curly wigs and T-shirts adorned with the words 'Hamilton's family', caused outrage and prompted the FIA to launch an anti-racism initiative.

Speaking of the latest incident the FIA said: "We are aware of it and we are looking into it."

Former team boss Eddie Jordan said it was "totally and absolutely unacceptable". He added: "I think there is a suspended sentence still hanging over the circuit because the FIA did come down very strongly, and rightly so."
