“We consider these comments to be completely at odds with our values and culture at McLaren,” read a statement from McLaren.
“We take the matter extremely seriously and are investigating it as a priority.”
Hamilton started his Formula 1 career with McLaren in 2007 and won his first championship just a year later. He remained with the team until the end of 2012, when he made the switch to Mercedes’ works team.
