An ex-employee at Aston Martin claimed he suffered racist and homophobic abuse from co-workers while building parts for the Formula 1 outfit.
Aidan Louw told Sky News he was targeted immediately after starting his role as a contractor for the Silverstone-based team. He said he was called the n-word on multiple occasions, while more abuse came his way after he revealed a past relationship with another man.
"Before even walking into my working environment, that's when I was told 'look if you've got a problem with how we speak here, it's just how we speak'," said Louw, who worked as a laminator. The South Africa-born worker was visibly emotional as he recounted his experience.
