Ex-driver Nelson Piquet 'calls Lewis Hamilton the N-word' as F1 condemns footage
Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet allegedly used a racist slur to describe Lewis Hamilton as he gave his verdict on the clash between the Brit and Max Verstappen at last year’s British Grand Prix.According to reports in his native Brazil, Pique called Hamilton a term in Brazil that translates in English to the N-word during an interview in November last year, although the quotes have only just come to light.Hamilton and Verstappen touched as they battled for the lead on the first lap at Silverstone, with the Dutchman slamming into the barriers at high speed. Hamilton was hit with a 10-second penalty after being adjudged to have caused the collision but still went on to win the race.
