Formula 1 has condemned Nelson Piquet after the three-time world champion used a racially offensive term while referring to Lewis Hamilton.
Piquet made the comments while speaking about Hamilton's win at last year's British Grand Prix on a Brazilian podcast. During the race, Hamilton was involved in an incident with Max Verstappen on the opening lap, with the Dutchman ultimately crashing out after making contact with his rival's car.
Hamilton went on to win the race and Piquet twice used a racist term, which is Brazilian slang for the N-word, to describe the Brit when speaking to Brazilian publication Estadao.
