Lewis Hamilton has posted a string of tweets after an interview resurfaced showing former F1 driver Nelson Piquet using a racist slur to describe the Brit.
Piquet made the comments when speaking about Hamilton's win at last year's British Grand Prix, which saw him involved in an incident with Max Verstappen. After the pair's cars made contact on the opening lap, Verstappen crashed out of the race while Hamilton went on to win.
When asked about the incident by Brazilian publication Estadao, Piquet twice used a racist term, which is Brazilian slang for the N-word, when referring to Hamilton. And the seven-time world champion has now addressed Piquet's comments on Twitter.
