As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best sports
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport sports
But there are no Blacks in your sport sports
“They’re going to want to kill you sports
”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 sports
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car sports
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events sports
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all sports
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself sports
“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 sports
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride sports
“But I enjoyed it sports
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun sports
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me sports
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating sports
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs sports
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality sports
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 sports
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” sports
But to this interview, he’s late sports
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 sports
It was the racing way or the highway sports
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 sports
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill sports
That’s all that was discussed in the family sports
We didn’t discuss any other sport sports
“I was lucky, I think sports
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be sports
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did sports
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 sports
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s sports
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too sports
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril sports
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 sports
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time sports
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 sports
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team sports
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 sports
“Sure sports
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done sports
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it sports
But for me? It was about going fast sports
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali sports
“What I admired about him the most was not his sports boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali sports
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled sports
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 sports
’”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 sports
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs sports
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience sports
The attention went off the chart sports
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods sports
“He’s a very kind man sports
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way sports
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair sports
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with sports
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently sports
”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 sports
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made sports
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says sports
“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 sports
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ sports
