Last week, the racing world was rocked by the racist words of Nelson Piquet Sr. against Lewis Hamilton. The three-time world champion soon apologized, but he was no longer allowed to appear in the Formula 1 paddock.
Last weekend, Nelson Pique Sr. participated in the Le Mans Classic race, where he commented on the scandalous situation and the ban on appearing in the paddock: “I don’t care, my life is not going to change in any way. I came to Le Mans with my friends and we have fun.
This is all bullshit, I’m not a racist. I didn’t say anything bad. I used a rather mild word – we even call it our white friends. I said a word in an interview almost a year ago, and now they’ve turned it into such a story. It led to some problems, but I don’t care. I have no advertising or public obligation – I came to Le Mans to race and I enjoy it.
They sparked a scandal in Brazil. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I am very close to President Bolsonaro and consider him a good politician. However, the press in Brazil treats him negatively and does everything possible to discredit him. If they discredit me, it will reflect on him because everyone knows we are close to him.
