LONDON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The Spanish motorsports federation on Monday issued a stinging condemnation of fans who racially abused McLaren's Lewis Hamilton at the weekend and declared its 'absolute repulsion' at the incidents in Barcelona.

The RFEdeA responded after the International Automobile Federation (FIA) demanded a full report and a source close to Formula One's governing body warned that Spain's two grands prix could be at risk.

Hamilton, the sport's first black driver and championship runner-up in a sensational rookie season last year, was taunted and insulted during pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya.

The 23-year-old has become a hate figure in Spain because of his rivalry with former McLaren team mate and double world champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso, who now drives for Renault.

"The Federation wants to show its absolute repulsion at these incomprehensible incidents and demonstrate its support and solidarity for the McLaren team and especially their driver Lewis Hamilton," the Spanish statement said.

"This type of idiots that are confusing sporting rivalry with violence should be aware that the Federation has a zero-tolerance approach to this issue."

The Circuit de Catalunya said in a separate statement that it would not allow "even the smallest incident to repeat itself within its facilities".
