Then there was a violent bang in the motorsport world. Lewis Hamilton’s racing team reacted in horror to Nelson Piquet’s racist statement.
“We strongly condemn any racist or discriminatory statement. Lewis has spearheaded our sport’s efforts to fight racism and he is a true champion of diversity on and off the track,” Mercedes said in a statement.

As already mentioned, the term was used in 2021 when Piquet spoke about a duel between Hamilton and his competitor Max Verstappen on the track. It was about the Hamilton maneuver at the Silverstone Grand Prix when he pushed Verstappen off the track. The Dutchman hit the gang hard.
So far, Piquet has not commented. Particularly interesting: his daughter Kelly is in a relationship with Max Verstappen. The Red Bull pilot has not yet made a statement on social networks either.

Formula 1 is back at Silverstone this weekend. The topic is currently making waves and will certainly be addressed at the press conferences.
