No, he has a long and storied career of being an absolute see you next Tuesday. Homo phobic slurs to Ayrton. Genuine unpleasantness to our Nige (no, the other one) You would think/hope F1 would/will ban him but, the way the worlds going, he will be the perfect voice for all those middle eastern Grand Prix.

Well, I’m not usually a shrinking violet but in this instance I think it’s enough to say that is the word which begins with N, which some black people call each other but we Whiteys are not allowed to use. (And I can live with that)

He apparently said (in Portuguese and reference to an incident at Silverstone in 2021). “The little n***** [Lewis Hamilton] put the car in and left because there was no way to pass two cars on that corner. He made a joke. Lucky for him, only the other one [Verstappen] got fucked up.” If correctly translated and on record then I would say he's bang to rights - but given his previous he's probably unapolagetic. Mr Piquet is Max Verstappen's prospective father-in-law.

I've never liked Piquet and never warmed to him like some other F1 drivers I initially didn't like as a kid (such as Senna). He didn't seem like a nice person. I strongly disliked Piquet and Prost (the latter for his backstabbing and politics within F1).
This Piquet incident does seem a bit Suarez all over again - apparently the word used isn't offensive in Latin America. But even if it isn't, why refer to Hamilton's skin colour in the first place?
I don't think an apology (as F1 have requested) is enough to allow Piquet back into F1 either. Why force someone into an apology they don't want to make? Ban him for the rest of the season at least.

Bit weird he was your hero mind😉 Why? He was a great racing driver. And if he was racist at the time, Murray Walker never mentioned it so how were we supposed to know?

Disgusting comments. Whilst we do of course still see these sorts of comments coming from racist knobs in this country, I still believe we are miles ahead as a nation compared to some other countries or cultures where using racist terminology is yet to be even spoken about as being wrong.

I’ve just never heard of anyone with Piquet as their hero before. I think you’re reading too much into it mate. He wasn’t my only hero, others included George Best, Emerson Fittipaldi, George Orwell, Hong Kong Phooey, and a host of others. (I lied about Hong Kong Phooey)

He definitely should have mentioned it. A bit more of a personal touch to the commentary would have been brilliant. "And it's known-racist Piquet who takes the lead, getting the inside line round that corner, and relegating notoriously well-endowed Gerhard Berger into second."

He's now issued one of those worthless apologies because it's become an issue. Losing a bit of influence and some cash can certainly have racists sods like him crawling when they're outed in a world that's moved on from outdated bigotry.

The story was doing the rounds last week, I'm surprised it took so long to make the news. It was not just that he used a phrase that is not always (but usually is) offensive, in his description of the events leading up to the incident, Piquet mentioned several drivers by name, but just used the slur for Lewis instead of his name.

Don't forget for many years he employed a person who enjoyed a thrashing from tarts in SS uniforms and was directly descended from BUF leaders. Why would anyone expect anything less from that poison dwarf.
