Nelson Piquet Sr. issued a statement Wednesday following backlash from the Formula One community in response to his use of racist language in reference to Lewis Hamilton
George Russell was one of the first to speak out in support of his Mercedes teammate,, “Huge respect to LH. He has done more for the sport than any driver in history, not just on track but off it. The fact that he and so many others are STILL having to deal with this behaviour is unacceptable.
We all need to stand together against discrimination of any kind.” , “It’s more than language. These archaic mindsets need to change and have no place in our sport. I’ve been surrounded by these attitudes and targeted my whole life. There has been plenty of time to learn. Time has come for action.”
