The l♌atest instalment, which leaked on Thursday night after Ham🥀ilton had responded, was reported by Brazilian media platform Metropoles via Grande Premio.

“In a new video, Nelson Piquet repeats a racist term to refer to Lewis Hamilt🌼on and makes a homophobic attack on the Briton.”

: “Ne﷽lson Piquet's bo♐mb interview had another pitiful stretch beyond what the world saw. This time, with also homophobic statement.

“The whole world saw the excerpt from the boꦡmb interview given by Nelson Piquet in November last year where he treats Lewis Hamilton for a pejorative term of a racist nature. But that's not all. There is another part of t♕he interview in which Piquet reinforces the use of racist expression and still results with an explicit homophobia.”

Nelson Piquet apologised but denied intent

168澳洲幸运5官方开𒊎奖结果历史:The Br♍azilian’s statement included: “What I said was ill thought out, and I make no defence for it, but I will clarify that the term used is one that has widely and historically been used c🔯olloquially in Brazilian Portuguese as a synonym for ‘guy’ or ‘person’ and was never intended to offend.

“I would never use the word I have been accused of in some translations. I strongly condemn any suggestion that 🧜the word was used by me with the aim of beli𓂃ttling a driver because of his skin colour.

“I apologise wh🎉oleheartedly to anyone that was affected, including Lewis, who is an incredible driver, but the translation in some media that is now circulating on s♐ocial media is not correct.”

Lewis Hamilton: Why give ‘older voices’ a platform?

Bernie Ecclestone, the 91 year old ex-F1 supremo, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:said that Hamilton “should be🥀 hap♏py” because Piquet apologised.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Hamilton responded at Silve🐻rstone: "Why do we give these older voices a platform?

"It is😼 not representative of our sport and where we are. We are looking to grow - in the US and in South Africa.

"We are looking to the future to gꦅive younger people a platform who are m🐠ore representative.

"They are🌟 not really in the sport. They haven't been relevant f𓆉or decades. But I'm still here, standing strong, pushing for diversity.” 

Max Verstappen: Piquet is wrong but not a racist

Piquet is the father of Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly. She had liked a social media po🧜st that appeared to defend her fath✨er.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Verstappen said about Piquet: “I think the wording that was used, even w🍬ith the different kinds of cultures and things they probably said when 𒊎they were younger, was not correct.

“I’ve spent a bit of time with Nelson, probably more than the average person in general, and he’s 🥀definitely not a ꦦracist. He’s actually a nice and pretty relaxed guy.”

The incredible reaction from F1 drivers

Sebastian Vettel and Lando Norris, among others, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:spoke powerf🍷ully about changing attitudes.

Vettel said: “I don't think there should be any room for these kinds of comments. We s🦋till have to do a lot... I think we have come a lot further than many years ago but it doesn't help when there are still these things out🌠 there and people still saying inappropriate or using inappropriate language and saying the wrong things.”

F1 has also be🌄en faced by a second racism issue this week - Juri Vips had his contract terminated by Red Bull as their reserve and test driver after saying a racist word. He has been backed “to redeem himself” by continuing this season for his team HiTech Grand Prix but F2 have publicly 🌞disputed that decision.

Norris said: “I ꦚthink there’s a difference between someone making a mistake and having used a wrong word versus someone wh𝓀o is purposely trying to do it to discriminate and have it in the wrong meaning.

“Any racist language or slurs are never accepted. I do see that just words do make a big difference and the fact of how big something like this ha🔯s become over t༺he last few days.”
