Az F1 kitörölte emlékezetéből rasszistának bélyegzett világbajnokát
Nelson Piquet, despite winning three world championship titles, seems to have completely alienated himself from the Formula 1 leaders with his racist comments towards Lewis Hamilton. Piquet has never been known for politically correct or cultured remarks, as he always spoke his mind and disregarded everyone and everything. In the past, such behavior was tolerated, especially from a three-time F1 champion, but nowadays it is not. As a result, Piquet has been banned from the F1 paddock after a video surfaced in 2022 where he made racist remarks about Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton’s collision at the 2021 Silverstone Grand Prix. He faced legal consequences and was fined the equivalent of 340 million Hungarian forints. However, this was not his only offense that led to an investigation, as he also publicly incited hatred against Brazil’s newly elected president, Lula, and wished for his death in a video in 2022. Therefore, even at the age of 70, Piquet continues to make headlines in the news. The F1, on the other hand, seems to have completely „forgotten” about him, which was pointed out by Julia Jasmeen Piquet, one of his daughters from his second wife, in a tweet. She criticized the F1 for turning its back on one of the greatest champions of the sport and expressed her disappointment for not receiving any recognition for his remarkable achievements. She accompanied her post with a screenshot of the F1’s birthday message to Piquet in 2021, which was not repeated this year, and claimed that she will not forget this omission. The F1’s social media accounts also no longer post about Piquet.
