Toby comments.:- I watched the Formula 1 race today, as expected S. Vettel was the winner.
The Maclaren team have 2 British based Drivers and you would expect them to get roughly the same amount of mentions during the reporting but if you did then you would be mistaken, I counted.
Jensen Button who is white, 89 mentions Lewis Hamilton who is black, 365 mentions
Has anybody any idea just why the Black Broadcasting Corporation feels it necessary to keep pushing the mantra of a black driver can do nearly as well as white drivers ??

Perhaps because in this race, it was Hamilton who was duelling with Vettel, and who came second. The cameras usually, and not unnaturally concentrate mainly on the racing at the front of the pack, and Button had dropped down the field until making a late charge and getting fourth place. It therefore follows that the front two got more mention than the rest of the field.
Just as it follows that your posting is ignorant, ill conceived, and says more about you than it does the BBC.

I find it hard to believe that even the BBC would devote four times the coverage to Hamilton tham to Button
I think it is Neds post
"in this race, it was Hamilton who was duelling with Vettel, and who came second.

that orovides the answer

Toby comments.:- It is sad that you cannot see what is happing in front of your own eyes and choose to blame me instead. They don't call the BBC, "the Black Broadcasting Corporation', for nothing !!

Toby comments.:- But they did not, they neglected Herr. Vettel to a large extent, him being so far away at the front.
This disproves your hypothesis.
