Footage of Nelson Piquet using racist and homophobic language against Lewis Hamilton during an interview from 2021 has emerged.
Speaking on a podcast, the former F1 world champion used two slurs when he was discussing how Hamilton missed out on the 2016 title to Nico Rosberg.
“The [racist slur] should be given [homophobic slur] at the time. He was kinda bad,” Piquet said.
Video of the Brazilian’s comments surfaced days after he apologised “wholeheartedly” to Hamilton for using a racial slur, saying “discrimination has no place in F1 or society”.
