It’s really not cool to call out Max Verstappen with regard Nelson Piquet’s abhorrent comments.
Couple of quotes form an article on the BBC:
Piquet said he “made no defence” of the remarks, but added the term he 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”.
So he’d use the same term for a white ‘guy’ as well then….
Sources in F1 have said that Piquet, who won the 1981, 1983 and 1987 world titles, will not be allowed back into an F1 paddock following his comments.
and
Red Bull, whose driver Max Verstappen is the partner of Piquet’s daughter Kelly, have not commented.
F1 is taking it seriously, but Red Bull not so much. I think it’s ok to call out MV until he or his team distances themselves from Piquets comment.
