Athletistic/ Formula 1. Brazilian defender Daniel Alves has reacted to the racist scandal involving Lewis Hamilton and former driver Nelson Piquet.

Recall that Pique called Hamilton ‘neguinho’. Later, the Brazilian apologized but noted that he didn’t consider the word used an insult.

“I am concerned about the situation and not just because of the insult. If the most successful driver in Formula 1 is attacked like this, he is so despised, so what happens to those with status lower? I’m very concerned that these people aren’t allowed to achieve theirs,” Alves said.
