Nelson Piquet fined £780,000 for racist and homophobic comments about Lewis Hamilton
Nelson Piquet has been ordered to pay 5 million Brazilian Reals (£780,000) in moral damages for racist and homophobic comments made against Lewis Hamilton. The charges relate to the triple formula one champion’s remarks in November 2021, when Piquet made a racial slur as he spoke about Hamilton’s crash with Max Verstappen at the British Grand Prix.
