Max Verstappen says Nelson Piquet's comment against Lewis Hamilton was 'not correct', but the three-time F1 champion is 'definitely not a racist'
Piquet - who is the father of Verstappen’s partner, Kelly Piquet - used a racial slur to describe Hamilton in an interview given last year, the contents of which surfaced this week.
“I think the wording that was used, even though of course with different kinds of cultures and things they said when they were little and younger, was not correct,” Verstappen said. “He’s actually a really nice and relaxed guy, and I’m pretty sure that also the statement he released, I think you can see the word in two ways. But I think it’s still better not to use it.”Verstappen said he had not spoken to Piquet about the matter, saying it was “not up to me” to discuss it with him.
“As he said, it can be interpreted in two ways, and of course people pick up on the bad side and it gets really blown out of proportion, because I know Nelson personally. “When you ban people, you are actually not even helping the situation, you are not talking,” Verstappen said.
