Nelson Piquet’s comments have understandably shocked the F1 world.
Nelson Piquet wrote a harsh text in the interview. PDO
Three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet has flushed his reputation down the toilet this week.
At the beginning of the week, an interview with Piquet filmed at the end of last year, in which he uses About Lewis Hamilton outrageous name.
Now Brazilian Metropoles has published a new clip from the interview, where he lets out more rants. In addition to Hamilton, a former racing partner is the target of insults Keke Rosberg.
Rosberg won the F1 world championship as the first Finnish driver in the history of the season in 1982. The season is remembered as the most dramatic in the history of the sport. Rosberg took the title at the end of an even race after winning only one race during the season.
Piquet, who won the 1981, 1983 and 1987 World Championship titles, is asked in an interview what he thinks of Rosberg as a driver.
– Keke? He was a piece of shit. No value, Piquet shakes with a shrug.
The story continues after the immersion.
Even the reporter gets confused by this. Piquet grins and shrugs again before taking Hamilton in his teeth.
– His son (Nico Rosberg) is world champion. I guess it was like that Hamilton (Piquet uses an outrageous term) focused on giving more ass at that time, Piquet quips.
Rosberg defeated his teammate Hamilton in the 2016 season to take the World Championship title. Hamilton had his own problems during the season, when the inflamed gaps between the Mersu duo could no longer be seen on the track and in the pit.
The F1 series had previously banned Piquet from entering the F1 pit because of the comments made about Hamilton. Piquet regretted what happened, but he felt he was the victim of a translation error.
However, the new video leaves little room for explanation.
The week has been a PR disaster for the F1 series. In addition to the rude comments of the sports legend, the match was confused by the former head of formulas Bernie Ecclestonewho praised profusely Vladimir Putin on the morning show.
Red Bull’s Estonian junior driver Jüri Vips got fired for the racist language he used in his own game stream.
