Hamilton addressed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the r🔴acism storm that has rocked F1 on Thursday at Silverstone ahead of the British Grand Prix 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:before then impressing at Friday's Pr💫actice. But, on Thursday🐷 night, m෴ore footage of Piquet became available.

The latest insta𒐪lment, which leaked on Thursday night after Hamဣilton 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 Hamilton and makes a homophobic attack on the Briton.”

: “Nelson Piquet's bomb interview🥀 had another pitiful stretch beyond what the world saw. This time, with also homophobic statement.

“The whole world saw the excerpt f﷽rom the bomb 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 the interview in which Piquet reinforc𝓰es the use of racist expression and still results with an explicit homophobia.”

Nelson Piquet apologised but denied intent

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果🦄历史:The Brazilian’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 colloquially 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 belittling a driver bec🐭ause of his skin colour.

“I apologise wholꦆeheartedly to anyone that was affected, including Lewis, who is an incredible driver, but the translati🦩on in some media that is now circulating on social 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 ꦑ“should be happy” because Piquet apologised.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Hamilton rꦯesponded at Silverstone: "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 Afri🐻ca.

"We are looking to the future to🔜 give younger people a platform who are more 𝔉representative.

"They are not really in the sport. They have🥂n't been relevant for decades. But I'm still here, standing strong, pushin💖g 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 post that appeared to defend her ཧfather.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Verstappen said about Piquet: “I think the wording that waไs used, even with the different kinds of c🍌ultures and things they probably said when they 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 racist. He’s actually aꦿ 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 powerfully♓ about changing a💞ttitudes.

Vettel said: “I don't think there should be any room for these kinds of comments. We still have to do a𝔍 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 been faced by a second racism issue this week - Juri Vips had his contract terminate꧑d 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 think there’s a difference between someon𒈔e making a mistake and having used a wrong word versus someone who is purposely tryi𝔍ng to do it to discriminate and have it in the wrong meaning.

“Any racist language or slurs are never accepted. I do see tha👍t ꦍjust words do make a big difference and the fact of how big something like this has become over the last few days.”
