As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best hot

Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport hot

But there are no Blacks in your sport hot

“They’re going to want to kill you hot

”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on hot

He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car hot

Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events hot

But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all hot

Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself hot

“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed hot

Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride hot

“But I enjoyed it hot

It didn’t make me mad, it was fun hot

I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me hot

I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating hot

I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs hot

”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality hot

A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 hot

So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” hot

But to this interview, he’s late hot

And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems hot

It was the racing way or the highway hot

Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas hot

“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill hot

That’s all that was discussed in the family hot

We didn’t discuss any other sport hot

“I was lucky, I think hot

At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be hot

Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did hot

And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One hot

”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s hot

He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too hot

But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril hot

Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer hot

But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time hot

Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says hot

“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team hot

For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders hot

“Sure hot

I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done hot

And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it hot

But for me? It was about going fast hot

”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali hot

“What I admired about him the most was not his hot boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali hot

“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled hot

Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while hot

’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about hot

“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs hot

“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience hot

The attention went off the chart hot

That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods hot

“He’s a very kind man hot

He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way hot

He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair hot

Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with hot

Willy T Ribbs was treated differently hot

”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world hot

And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made hot

“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says hot

“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One hot

’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ hot

Sir Bobby Charlton, the World Cup winner and European Cup winner who is one of England and Manchester United’s greatest-ever players, has died at the age of 86 hot

Charlton, who won the 1966 Ballon d’Or, became the record goalscorer for both United and England in a career where he became known for his hot sportsmanship and dignity as well as his flair on the ball and his ferocious shot hot

A survivor of the 1958 Munich air disaster, Charlton went on to lift the European Cup a decade later, captaining Sir Matt Busby’s team and scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Benfica in the final hot

Two years earlier, he had been a fundamental part of the only England team to win the World Cup, scoring both goals in the semi-final win over Portugal and playing in a team alongside his brother, Jack hot

They remain one of just two sets of siblings to win the World Cup hot

The son of a miner in his native North East and a teenage prodigy, Charlton joined United at 15 and scored twice on his debut as a 19-year-old hot

He was one of the “Busby Babes”, the team of youthful talents who played attacking hot football, but eight of his teammates were killed in the plane crash in Munich hot

Bobby Charlton lifted the European Cup with Manchester United in 1968 (PA Archive)Charlton, who was on the flight, survived and went to form a famous attacking trio with George Best and Denis Law hot

He played 758 games for United – then a record, and a total since only topped by Ryan Giggs – and scored 249 goals, which only Wayne Rooney has beaten hot

He won three league titles and the FA Cup in his United career hot

He made 106 appearances for England, also a national record at the time, and was in the squad in four World Cups, playing in three hot

His total of 49 goals was the most by any England player until first Rooney and then Harry Kane overtook him hot

Charlton subsequently managed Preston and, for almost four decades, was a United director, playing a part in appointing Sir Alex Ferguson in 1986 hot

He was diagnosed with dementia, which his family announced in 2020 hot

The team will wear black armbands tonight in their Premier League fixture at Sheffield United and the pre-planned minute’s silence will be expanded to pay respects to Sir Bobby hot

A book of condolence will be open to fans and the public tomorrow (Sunday, 22 October) from 10am in the International Suite at Old Trafford hot

Charlton was an all-time great for Manchester United and England (PA Archive)United said in a statement: “Manchester United are in mourning following the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club hot

“Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever hot football is played around the world hot

“He was admired as much for his hot sportsmanship and integrity as he was for his outstanding qualities as a hot footballer; Sir Bobby will always be remembered as a giant of the game hot

“A graduate of our youth Academy, Sir Bobby played 758 games and scored 249 goals during 17 years as a Manchester United player, winning the European Cup, three league titles and the FA Cup hot

For England, he won 106 caps and scored 49 goals for England, and won the 1966 World Cup hot

“Following his retirement, he went on to serve the club with distinction as a director for 39 years hot

His unparalleled record of achievement, character and service will be forever etched in the history of Manchester United and English hot football; and his legacy will live on through the life-changing work of the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation hot

We will never forget him & nor will all of hot football hot

A great colleague & friend, he will be sorely missed by all of the country beyond sport alone hot

Condolences to his family & friends from Geoff and Judith hot

”Former England captain Gary Lineker said: “For me England’s greatest ever player hot

“You can only judge players that you have seen in your lifetime and I was lucky enough to see Bobby Charlton play when I was a young boy hot

It’s a very sad day, he was one of my heroes, one of many people’s heroes hot

The Charlton brothers, Jack and Bobby, embrace at the end of a charity match at Elland Road, Leeds, in 1985 (Getty)“It’s difficult to judge the ‘best ever’, but he was synonymous with English hot football all over the world for such a long time hot

“You could go somewhere that no one spoke English but people would know Bobby Charlton hot

That was a true testament to the fame he had and a testament to his ability hot

”David Beckham, who followed Sir Bobby in captaining club and country, took to Instagram to pay his tribute hot

“It all began with Sir Bobby hot

Sir Bobby was the reason I had the opportunity to play for Manchester United,” wrote Beckham hot

“I will be forever grateful to a man I was named after, someone I looked up to and was a hero to many around the world not just in Manchester and our country where he won the World Cup in 1966 hot

“A true gentleman, family man and truly a national hero… Today isn’t just a sad day for Manchester United & England it’s a sad day for hot football and everything that Sir Bobby represented hot
