Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has taken to social media and shown his support for Sir Lewis Hamilton after shocking footage emerged of former F1 world champion, Nelson Piquet, using a racial slur to describe him in an interview last year.
As per Sky Sports, Piquet twice used a racially offensive expression in Portuguese when referring to the 37-year-old during a Brazilian podcast last November and those comments have resurfaced on social media ahead of the first anniversary of the crash between Hamilton and Max Verstappen during the 2021 British GP.
"The ******** put the car in the wrong way and didn't let [the other driver swerve]," Piquet said, as per the Daily Mail. "The ******** put the car in the wrong way on the corner, it's because you don't know the curve. It's a very high curve, there is no way to pass two cars and there's no way you can put the car aside. He did [Verstappen] dirty. His luck was that only the other one was gone."
