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