Hamilton addressed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:the racism storm that has rocked F1 on Thursday at Silverstone ahead of the British Grand Prix 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:before t⭕hen impressing at Friday's Practice. But, on Thursday night, more ෴footage of Piquet became available.

The latest instalment, which leaked on Thursday night after Hamilton had re🃏sponded, was reported by Brazilian media platform🐭 Metropoles via Grande Premio.

“In a new video, Nelson Piquet repeats a racist ter🀅m to refer to Lewis Hamilton and makes a homophobic attack on the Briton.”

: “Nelson 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 bomb interview given by Nelson Piquet in November last year whe🅰re 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 reinforces the use of racist expression and still results with an explicit homophobia.”

Nelson Piquet apologised but denied intent

168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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 so💛me translations. I strongly condemn any suggestion that the word was used by me with the aim of belittling a driver because of his skin colour.

“I apologise wholeheartedly to🌳 anyone that was affected, including Lewis, who is an incredible driver, but the translation in some media that is now circulating on social media i꧂s not correct.”

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

Bernie Ecclestone, the 91 year old ex-F1 supremo, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:said that Hamilton “shouldಌ be happy” because Piquet apologised.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Hamilton responded 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 Africa.

"We are looking to the future to give younger people a platfo✃rm who are more representative.

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

Max Verstappen: Piquet is wrong but not a racist

Pꦿiquet is the father of Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly. She had liked a social media post that appeared to defend her father.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Verstappen said about Piquet: “I think the wording that was used, even with the different kinds of cultures 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 nꦑot a racist. 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5最新开奖结果:spoke pow🀅erfully about changing attit🍸udes.

Vettel said: “I don't think there should be any room for these kinds of comments. We still 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 b🧸een 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 publiꦬcly disputed that decision.

Norris said: “I think there’s a difference between someone making a mistake and having used a wrong word versus someone who 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 th𝓰e fact of how big something like this has become over the last few days.”
