I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World:
Max Verstappen’s Views On Nelson Piquet’s Racist Remark
Max started off stating that using any racist slur is not right
“Everyone is against racism, I think it’s very straight”
“I think the wording that was used, even though of course we have different kind of cultures and [they were] things that were said when they were younger, is not correct”
“It’s not only about that word, using offensive language to anyone, any colour, is not correct. That’s to anyone in the world, not just to Lewis specifically”
He then responded to whether he was going to personally speak to Lewis about it
“We don’t need to talk, he has all of my respect like every other driver and he knows how I feel and think about his situation”
He was then asked if he was going to talk to Nelson to which he replied
“It’s not up to me to talk to my father-in-law. You’re not going to say, ‘hey man, that’s not correct’. I think he knows himself.”
“I don’t think he needs me to say what is right and what isn’t. He said it himself in his statement, he used the wrong word, so who am I to call him? I don’t think it will change anything”
He then suggested that it has been blown out of proportion
“It can be interpreted in two ways and of course people pick up on the bad side and of course it gets really blown, I think, out of proportion”
“I know Nelson personally and people of course label him as a racist now which I don’t think he is, but I fully agree that you cannot use these words”
He signed off by giving his views on Nelson being banned from the F1 paddock
“When you ban people, you are actually not helping the situation”
“You have to communicate. It’s really important, because if you just ban it’s not helping what you’re trying to enforce”
Fast Feed
Lewis Hamilton is “incredibly grateful to all those that have been supportive within the sport, particularly the drivers”
“I’ve been on the receiving end of racism and criticism and negativity and archaic narratives for a long, long time, and undertones of discrimination”
“So, there’s nothing particularly new to me. I think it’s more about the bigger picture… it’s not just about one individual, it’s not just about one use of that term - it’s the bigger picture”
Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel added that “it is probably what [Lewis] has been through and his family has been through his entire life”
“Any form of abuse is wrong, so I think it was great to see that there was so much response from all of the F1 community and so quickly people responded and expressed support towards Lewis”
Alpine’s Fernando Alonso too feels that “definitely, there is no room for this type of comments and I think the reaction from the whole community was quite big”
“If it’s needed to take action, I think we will rely on support - what the FIA and FOM are doing”
“The most important thing from us drivers is to show the support to Lewis and we stand with him”
Should Nelson Piquet be banned from the F1 paddock?

i don't get why every time the British media ask really provocative questions to try to catch him out, i feel like people need to get the fact aggressive drivers on track are not bad people in general
Journalists just love painting people in a black and white spectrum and the ignorant masses place them on said spectrum to make it easier to judge them, neither of which realize that they, just like normal people, are shades of grey with some black and white on the sides.
British media in a nutshell, they used to do the same with Vettel. Thankfully Verstappen is the wrong guy to try to play these games with, as he showed last year. He gives 0 fucks.
Because the British media are biased towards Lewis Hamilton and any other British sportsman or athlete. I have lived in England many years and it became so obvious. Anything to keep Lewis relevant and elevated.
You’re not very bright, are you?🤣
Verstappen is a bad person and a racist
Lewis and max toward each other: 🫡🫡
Their fans: 🤡💩🤡💩
I’m neutral so obviously I think max* is shit
It's mostly the permanently online social media and reddit types.
I can't believe that someone actually asked Max if he was going to speak to Nelson about it. There's absolutely no need to put Max on the spot like that. Max has already said he doesn't condone what happened and Nelson Piquet can clearly see the effects of what he said for himself.
He is the biggest name going into the f1 future, he needed to speak on it, that is even without considering the closeness of him and nelson.
@@alias19 if max is dating his daughter and he’s the biggest name in f1 then yea he’s going to be asked about it especially since many of max’s fans resort to the same kind of vulgar language when it comes to Lewis. There are racists in F1, they’re everywhere and Lewis has had to take these remarks his entire career. The absolute least max could do is speak about it and why wouldnt he be asked to talk to his girlfriends father about the comments he made. You don’t get to be the number one driver and not get asked the hard questions. If you can’t take the spot light then maybe this isn’t the sport for him.
@@marco_1909 Speak on it - yes. Speak to Nelson about it - no.

@@alias19 i get what you mean.
What a coincidence that this comes out one week before Silverstone… oh wait, the British media. I forgot!
If it was up to you racist you would hide it
Yip the brits are at it again,biased clowns
Watch the SkySportsF1 interview and see what Max says for yourself. He supports Lewis, he says racism is unacceptable, racist language is unacceptable. And that ppl need to learn from young age what acceptable and what not.
@Marjan B I don't think they hoped for anything but it's ultimately a tough position for him to be in.
Love to see it from the same guy that called Lance a slur in team radio and later said "not my problem"
@@montaukwhaler673 when did max use a racial slur
I feel bad for him, although I’m not a fan of his, I feel like he is in a very awkward situation where he wants to support his partner’s family, but he also realises that it’s not right. I think he is really showing a new maturity in the last couple of years
Also, there was no racism at all.
Well I'm not gonna defend him cause I don't know his intentions but I've got to say that at least here in Colombia we call a black person black, negro in spanish, without any problem, of course the way you say it it's important, cause if you're arguing then it won't sound in the best way. Maybe it is a culture thing, that in other countries if they listen the colour of their skin they feel bad, it's like me feeling bad for being called white, kinda stupid. But whatever, if he said it with bad intentions then he needs to evaluate himself, cause you can't be treating people in a bad way just for their colour, religion, or nationality, everyone deserves the same amount of respect.
@Jaime Gómez I think Black people are called black in every culture. The way Nelson Piquet said what he said, was meant to be derogatory, that is what makes it bad. The whole idea about it being technically racists or not, is missing the point. We all can do better and should do better, that is how we progress. We want to live in a World where we are not focusing on skin colour for remarks about each other. We are advancing on this front, we just have to not let stuff like this, become a distraction. We should take action to make sure that it is not.... by taking action to address it and move on.
@@tonespeaks No. You're wrong. Piquet is brazilian and in Brazil, until very few years ago, it was very offensive to call a black person "black" (or "preto" in portuguese). The correct word to use (as mentioned in every school book in Brazil) was "negro". So "negrinho" ou "neguinho" literally means "little black". And it can be used in a nice way or in a demeaning way. It does not necessarily imply racism.
Hilarious watching woke Brits in action
@@paulmartin9070 Piquet could've named him by his name, like every other driver but he instead chose to mention him by Lewis skin color and in a derogatory manner.
@@paulmartin9070 I think you are miss understanding what I meant by calling Black people Black. I don't mean the literal (translated) word "black", I meant you don't use a pejorative... like the English N word. I also stated that I didn't think using the word was technically considered racist.
The one thing we know for sure, is that Nelson Piquet didn't use the word in a nice way!!!! It should also be said that even he has acknowledged this. To take it one step further, Nelson Piquet has used this word in a much worse statement. It think it is fair to say Nelson Piquet does incorporate skin colour as part of his insult towards Lewis and that is what makes it racist. The word on its own doesn't make it racist.
If you re read my earlier reply you will see "The whole idea about it being technically racists or not, is missing the point." points to the fact, that I'm not deeming it a racist word.
Funny how this story surfaces now a year after the comments were made.
And at a time when Lewis is pretty much disliked as a driver.
Nelson is quite clearly wrong but trying to drag Max into the argument is wrong.
Dude dragged himself into it. Also that idiot never should have gotten involved with a teammates baby mama that is 10 years older than him. Rookie move Max.
I don’t think Lewis popularity has changed it just people are happy that he isn’t winning right now, so everyone tryna pile on and talk mess about him because they never liked him.
@@notsquidwardo9720 lewis is just off putting in general to a lot of people. It's hard to put my finger on exactly why but I find him hard to connect with as a person like I do with other drivers.
Story was done in November and someone released it just before Silverstone as it was a discussion as the Silverstone incident so who knows what thier motive was. It would not phase Max but more likely Lewis but I wouldn't count on that either.
Max will be asked these questions due to being the World Champion and one of the faces of F1 plus he is dating said dudes daughter so he it is hard to escape a question about it.
@@Cuda-the-Dog maybe it's him taking time to "reflect" on global warming from the comfort of his boat and 15 cars
Max is really wise, for being in his mid 20s.
I’m not sure if hes wise, more of just the people he surrounded by are just extremely dumb
Or at the very least well media trained. But I agree he handled it well.
I mean, what he said is common sense
@@codemy666 the way he said it, wasn’t.
He’s a master at choosing the right words and avoiding saying something stupid at that moment.
Imagine yourself at his place. Your father in law (nelson piquet) said that and the world is gone mad about it. And an interviewer asked you to speak about it to the whole world. What words will you come up with?
He is media trained and gets briefings every race. And on top of that it’s basically his father in law. Absolutely basic answer.
You must be the same guy that thinks MSC developed and built the 2000 Ferrari and the 2014 Mercedes.
Think Max is bang on with that really. If you want to see changes you need to talk about these things not just brand someone as racist and shut them out. He's appologised which should be the first step to a conversation which to me is how you make these changes.
Even a monkey would attempt to apologize if burned. The goal is to create a future world without racism, Piquet won't be part of that regardless. But by being made an example of, he would serve a cause at least.
So there are multiple angles you can view this from.
Exactly!
I wonder if Ecclestone's pro-russian stance is going to get as much attention from FIA as this has gotten...
yeah, they immediately issued a statement and distanced themselves from it. should have done the same with the racist remarks towards Hamilton, and not just after over half a year...
@@augenfest the interview only just came out.
There’s Portuguese F1 accounts that said it was out of pocket…
And there's more that say it wasn't.
how can it be out of pocket, if we can watch the interview? maybe actors?!?
Whatever happened to apologizing, forgiving, and earning trust back while getting the benefit of the doubt?
I mean there's no doubt really. Piquet belongs to a generation that saw black people as lesser. It's the environment he grew up in.
And as a brazillian, a country the west generally views as mixed, there's a tradition of the richer white population bullying the poorer black population with racist behavior and remarks to appear and appeal to the white westerners, as if to say "hey, we look down on these black people too! We're like you!" Which does help their cases temporarily sometimes, but ultimately Brazilians are viewed as non-westerners and thus this is a very layered issue. Of the whiter shitting on less white person.
The only reason people try to defend Piquet is either because they're anti-Lewis, he's Max's father in law, or they harbour similar racist tendencies.
I havent seen Hamilton or the English media apologizing. They sure have been trying to cover for themselves, but have they apologized?
Apology and forgiveness are aspects of life sucked away by extreme right wing behaviour and prejudice. Those being racist, homophobic, misogynistic and discriminatory in other ways are those who have also taken away decency and dignity, respect and morality.
Ask them why and no doubt you'll hear them say that it's just a silly "woke" thing.
Never literally translate foreign expressions and their meanings. In some countries of south America negro or negrito aren't racist words.
It’s portuguese not spanish, so negro does not mean black in portuguese. They way he even said it he is a small n*gga, doesn’t get more derogatory than that.
But wait, I get it a lot of guys that don’t like lewis, will protect anyone against him.
Bernie, Masi, NPJ, Marko…..etc.
Exactly. Im from south america and those words are not used in a racist demeanor in any way.
They don't care. This was said months ago, but it's conveniently been brought up now while Lewis is at his home race. This is just to push a narrative as always.
They don't even give a damn that it's a whole other language, they expect you to change your language for them.
However. If you just sit back and listen to black people speak, every other word that comes out of their mouth is the N word, but that's acceptable to society, they're allowed to say it because they're black, but if someone else says something remotely like it in their own language, well they better get shunned, ridiculed and cancelled for it, and it better be talked about for the entire GP. It's hypocrisy to the highest level and it's utter BS.
What Piquet said was especially bad with context. It's one thing to excuse the words he used because of translation errors and culture differences, but the attitude is pretty clear.
@@yt_Ajay_
The word he used is like saying "the black man" in English. There is no such a word for the N word in the entire Portuguese language.
Whether he meant is as racist or not is besides the point... my point was this was stated months ago but conveniently brought up for the British grand prix for one purpose only, and it's pathetic.
To be honest, i think we are missing the context towards what nelson piquet has said
This isnt about Piquet, but rather the blatant race baiting and cultural impetialism from English language media
If you speak portuguese, you will get how bad it was what he said
I’d like to know when a seven time world champion, and individual who’s been knighted by the queen should begin acting as an individual who isn’t a victim each week. As a fan of F1 and look up to the British, this is embarrassing.
Piquet’s comments were from last year’s race. Why are we hearing these complaints now.
Or was Lewis too busy alleging last year’s championship was robbed from him?
Firstly, last years championship was undoubtedly robbed from him lmao.
And instead of blaming Lewis being a victim all the time, maybe we should blame the people who are making him a legitimate victim all the time.
It's one thing to cry wolf, but when there's an actual wolf every week you can't blame Lewis.
@@Gofex1337 ^ wow someone making sense lol imagine, I completely agree
He isn't even playing victim here. I'm curious as to what you're on about.
This comment is embarrassing pal
@@SomeLad12 maybe this will provide you with an understanding of how some people see Sir Lewis Hamilton. czcams.com/video/DubboBJyLpo/video.html
I like how everyone refers to Piquet senior is overshadowing max's career now.
lmao. Piquet is only still popular because Max dates his daughter. otherwise people would've stopped giving two piles of poop about him already.
@@NeonColored yeah that's true weird how dating his daughter has put him in the spotlight once again
We should be educating, not cancelling. Maxs response was rational and correct.
At that stage in his life he is beyond being educated. He is who he is. They just need to stop spreading his rhetoric.
@@Tierraje it's actually because of his age he needs educating. The phrase he used was according to some Brazilians quite 'old school'. They need to be educated to get with the times.
czcams.com/video/BvVOPSY7NW8/video.html you want this type of guy to be educted he deserves a lifetime absolutely disgusting
remember that Max himself said he doesnt think he could change Piquets opinion. if he believes he can't do it, why does he think the FIA can?
@@augenfest so thats it? Give up and give in to cancel culture? If we threw people out for having at least one racist, sexist or threatening thought then we would have a very lonely paddock.
I'm not a Max fan but respect his honesty and refusal to speak from a trending narrative. It's true Portuguese language use that reference freely & often but there is normally a familiarity with that which Piquet does NOT have with Lewis. He was naive to think his comments wouldn't be received as they have been and should know better!
Did Nelson's grandmother used to call him homophobic things too?! 🤡🤣
Stop cancel culture. Nelson was wrong, Vips was wrong, but do not cancel anyone else, and they both deserve a chance to redeem themselves.
They’re not canceling Nelson but they said he needs to issue an apology. The fact he didn’t already do it shows he’s a racist POS!
LOLLLLLLL BYE JURI VIPS

@@jeantsu6850 He was just in F2 qualifying. Cope and seethe.
I think the issue is Piquet has consistently exhibited offensive and disrespectful behaviour, this is not an isolated incident. nevertheless, im sure the side of Piquet Max sees is alot better than the side that has been revealed, and especially when its a relative its tough to immediately adjust to seeing them in a new light (im not here to discuss whether the term he used is itself racist or not, but Piquet has generally proven himself to be insensitive and crass). I also think that the British media could have latched onto this either when it came out, or maybe any of the other awful things going on in the sport right now, but as always they attack low hanging fruit, just as Lewis does. its really a massive shame. i think considering the consistent behaviour by Piquet, the ban isnt as bad as it would be if it were an isolated out of context incident like with Vips, but i still agree with Max that there needs to be communication and room for people to grow and change, no matter how old they are, and no matter what theyve said. ban and censorship culture only makes these problems worse. i also think generally this pressure put on max over an issue he wasnt directly involved in where hes asked to condemn a relative is a bit harsh. but i think hes responded to it wonderfully. i just find it all completely comical when F1 sitll races in saudi when missiles blow up right next to them and no one said anything when someone who literally molested a woman and put a video of it on social media got a racing seat. utter hypocritical clownworld. F1 should offer us escapism, if it cant then what the fuck is it doing? because all its moral preachings are performative hypocrisy anyway.
Agreed.
I don't think there was any racism at all, however banning him and demonising him is what creates it.
@@baclava69 so you think banning Nelson Piquet will turn him into a racist?
@@baclava69 it does not get more racial than when you use a racial epithet to describe a person.
you not seeing anything racial in it is typical of a person who cannot see anything wrong with this because he has never been personally affected by such.
yours is quite an ignorant and stupid take
Max is literally dating his daughter
@Gelenvader3 Max isn't literally dating his daughter.... Max is dating his daughter.
So?
@@tonespeaks Yes, literally. THAT'S WHAT LITERALLY MEANS.
@@quigglyz I know what you are saying.... but "literally" can be used to as a replacement to "figuratively". When a statement is binary in nature, literally would not be common place. Max is either dating his daughter or not, so literally would be a redundant adverb. If you said "Max had literally 100's of Girlfriends", using literally would emphasis the point that Max has over 100 Girlfriends. Sometimes people use "100's" as a synonym for many.
As a person who lives in a country that have censorship and banning for almost everything (I'm from Iran) I think banning Nelson won't help the case ... In fact, I think this whole media thing about racism is a ridiculous show and they don't give a s*** about it! There's no room for rasicm in modern era but these behaviors and reactions especially from the media is just dividing people from each other.
Sorry for my bad English guys
It's not only him calling him a N..but he calling him little which sort of suggest he thinks Lewis is nothing.
This is the part I believe most persons have an issue with .
Your thoughts
I'm sure you know the most money that the sport ever made was because of Lewis.
These older guys were good don't get me wrong but technology have gone to a next level.
So it's not necessary to hate the player because he is black.
@@albertcollymore6796 I'm agree with you about the hate he recieved over the years, same for Max last week at Silverstone... I'm trying to say that this is a political issue over the last 2-3 years and the media always manipulate things to do favour for certain persons/governments/ ... etc. We don't have to like or agree with each other but we must have respect for each other.
Hi and thanks Dillon 😊
The weirdest part is that it was over a year ago on some tiny channel and Nelson also talked shit about both Keke and Nico Rosberg, but nobody seem to even mention that in the slightest. Ofc racial slurs are awful, but regular slurs suck too, so why only racial ones get so much spotlight and create so massive dramas?
It's been brewing in the British media, just to start this up right befor the British GP.. Its sadly how tasteless the British media is (remember the Max 51G Crash Christmas commercials?)
I am 100% they had this infornation months ago, but since now it's Silverstone they decide to use the footage.. It's just so obvious how the media uses this for clickbate (doesn't make the words he said okay though, it's that shitty boomer mentality old people have.. They really need to be re-educated)
Surely this is a bait coment, right guys?
@@FedeIIo So youre telling me that verbal abuse is acceptable and I shouldnt complain if its not racist words?
@@jez_77 Because you are a subhuman if you think you're superior than others due to your skin color. Puting verbal abuse and racist words in the same catagory is only done by someone that has an IQ within single digits.
Slurs in general are bad. Viewing people of certain groups or ethnicities the way Hitler did, is much worse.
Worse crime = more time (in the spotlight)
A storm in a glass of water, there are sickening things going on in the world, and F1 worries about a supposed racial comment, bunch of nansies !
F1 is being americanized through its public, and the racial tensions of the USA are being projected on other societies, even other languages. It’s beyond ridiculous.
You have no idea what it’s like being on the receiving end! Nelson called Lewis a black man! He’s now up there with Putin on the evil scale.
Why hasn't Lewis called out his rapper chums for far worse language.
Im brazilian, the language piquet used is a synonym of "dude", "guy" or "fellow".
Very used on Brazil, I dont know what you are receiveing out there...
It may have a racist meaning but its very likely to be old language from Piquet I really doubt he thought on racism terms.
Used by racists in Brazil, racism towards black ppl is very common there!
Até acho que rolou um certo menosprezo da parte do Piquet ao chamar o Hamilton de "neguinho", mas não acho que teve esse tom racista do qual o estão acusando aqui no Brasil, e muito menos dá pra se equiparar "neguinho" com "niger" como os ingleses fizeram. Absurdo eles dizerem que o Piquet chamou o cara de "niger".
@@paulmartin9070 it's very absurd since niger is a country lol. Country in west Africa.
@@Pats4lyfe Wrong.
@Felipe sorry but it doesn't mean dude, guy or felllow the way he used it. He had not problem saying "Max". I happen to be a Nelson Piquet fan and still am, but he meant what he said, the way he said it. It is clear what his intentions were, I don't believe Nelson Piquet is a racist, but what he said had clear racial overtones. So Black people, especially Black Brazilians have a right to be concerned.
IF THERE IS NOT A BAN ,,, THEN WHAT IS TO STOP THE NEXT GUY FROM MAKING RACIST ATTACKS !!!!
At least someone said it
Max is just confirming what I have been saying for the last 3 days. Why stay stuck on this and blow things out of proportion and create more drama to make it bigger than it really is. I would understand everybody getting offended if every time Lewis entered the paddock people would throw Rotten Tomatoes at him and call him racial slurs but this is not the case, people are acting as if an unimaginable hate crime occurred but it was something that was said on a tiny Portuguese channel that wasn't seen by many people and it wasn't in the spotlight and also it wasn't meant in a racist hateful way.

Everything is racists these days
The term racism has lost its impact and I can’t take it seriously anymore, especially once I saw people on there knees for a dodgy organisation
Well, you have a point. But this is still one of the worst racist actions in a public space in many many years.

Ridiculous over reaction and over sensitive victimhood mentality. Pathetic.
From a seven time world champion with Sir in front of his name.
people who bitch have never been to South America, words like "idiot" "fat" and "black (you can interpret it as the N-word, but the literal translation is black, it isnt inherently offensive)" are just some of the ways people refer to people here, not just in Brazil. Maybe he knows its wrong, I get Piquet maybe an asshole in general, but getting all butthurt over a couple comments that arent even explicitly racist and acting like its the rising of the fourth reich is stupid as sh**. Hamilton loses my respect more and more with each day.
Grow op
Great video 👍 👍 Max is smart. I still don't understand how they can use the n word like crazy. If a word is racist it's racist no matter who says it.
@steve kissel The words that Nelson Piquet used was not the the same as the N word. But context means everything and if you look at how Nelson has used the work int he be past, he meant what he meant. Max shouldn't be drawn into this directly, he had nothing to do with the statement. Like every driver he will be asked for his opinion, but it has to stop there. People need to take action and move on. Progress is what is the most important things, we can't change the past.
it is not the n-word
Unfortunate timing seeing as a new video has surfaced in which Nelson uses the term again when talking about Hamilton and adds that Nico Roseberg must have won the 2016 F1 championship because Lewis was too busy back then, and I rephrase here, "having sex with other men"...
That's hilarious and true

Nelson isn't wrong about that though.
I need some context to this. What did Nelson say?
Been asleep for the past week?
Nelson was ranting and raving about last year's British GP, and although he referred to every other driver by name, he referred to Lewis with a word that can be roughly translated to little black kid or little black kid from the ghetto.
Some people have tried to argue that it's a term of endearment, which is absolute BS in the context of the interview. It may be used that way in some contexts, but Nelson was definitely using it in a derogatory racial context.
And this came to light right around the same time that Vips used the n-word and got himself kicked out of Red Bull.
Nelson got banned from the paddock of the British GP as a result

@@nigelsteven1884 exactly. anything for clicks and drama. The media + F1 Twitter is just too much toxicity.
This comment section does not pass the vibe check
What exactly did he say??
FIA: "To show our support for Lewis, we will hand him the 2022 Driver Championship Title right away."
Haha, nah Masi isn't race director and he already gave it away last year to Max 🤡
Some Brazilians say no, some say yes... It has to be a loose term. I mean, it is a loose term and maybe he said it in a bad way and if so that's not good. Still, it was a year ago, he apologised, his brother chimed in, he has good people who are close to him who stand up for him and Lewis did almost kill Verstappen. That's all enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt. People need to stop cancelling others and jumping all over them if they make a verbal mistake while speaking in a moment of passion. It's just as sad as real racism.
Honestly, I think what he did was actual real racism. It wasn't about the word, it was about that mentality and context that word was embedded in.
That's fair to say yes
Shut the fuck up trying to defend that guy. Just because he gives a fake apology doesn’t mean Hamilton or any black people will accept it. Doesn’t matter if it was 10 years ago
@@Gofex1337 the bigger pronlem here is English monolinguals using auto translators. Since they only speak English, they never realised that auto translators are oftentimes completely incorrect.
Its just delightful to have British people deciding that a word in a language thats not theirs suddenly is offensive because an auto translator told them so. Triggering backlash about linguistic imperialism from the English in Portuguese language media all over the world is not how you strive for equality. The word in question is the equivalent of calling someone "dude" so the whole thing is ridiculous
@@fgsaramago the word isn't the problem. The problem is Piquet calling specifically Lewis by the color of his skin rather his name, everyone else is their name but Lewis is his skin color.
That's what makes it racist. Not the word itself.
I wonder what could change his mind. Close the door completely or leave it ajar.
Like is the media trying to fuck his chances of marrying Kelly
This is old news just brought up to counter Hamiltons dirty driving last year racism is despicable but this is being use now as propaganda more Hamilton and Mercedes crocodile tears maybe someone should explain merc’s past history to sir hammy or for that matter British history
Why u don’t talk when max drop is car in top of Hamilton bla-bla-bla think twice before saying something
Yall gotta stop acting stupid about these drivers. Grow up man, Verstappen don't know you!
I don't think it was blow out of proportion, but I appreciate his view and perspective! There shouldn't be any room for this behavior in our modern society period. But people are people and they react to the obvious when criticizing others and then find a way to justify their ignorance. I guess he at least apologized after pushback was given.
Perhaps your headline for the CZcams post was out of context - with respect the “ blown out of proportion” is completely out of context - I like your channel please don’t sensationalise things with this technique .
Max in 2021 was a complete TWAW. But he is developing into a fantastic driver and young man! Good luck in season Max.
Huh British media just before Silverstone! Nice timing..🙄
I think that Max will focus on the race and show how to handle these sort of issues.....MAX is a winner and dont care about anything else....
The British mainstream media knew exactly that Max would get dragged into this and tried to distract him and a form of revenge to for winning the title from Hamilton. Wouldn’t be surprised if Mercedes is personally behind this sting.
What the actuall f#ck
Max staying professional
wtf I love Nelson piquet now
Ok racist. Insecure because someone has more melanin in their skin
This Lewis sob story is streching beyond belief. They want to find some racismouse so bad.
He is one of the richest and most loved humans in history.
His own country made him a knight.
His career has largely been prancing away from the field in the fastest car.
People call him the Goat.
He talks like everyone around him has always been a complete ass.
Like he gets up and swims a sea of hate everyday.
I used to love watching this guy but the lies and the baiting are too much. He makes it so the sport is no longer a way to escape all the bs for awhile. Its just like watching the news.
"Hey everyone, we need you to keep all these ugly feelings in your head while you watch this race."
I dont care if he never wins again.
People literally came in black faces to a gp...
@@montaukwhaler673 We know, you're one of them.
When he was made a knight a large amount of his country were angry because, guess what, he's black. The bigger you become as a minority the more racism you experience.
Must defend the family
Any one willing to share the original text of Piquet saying. All I see here is from the media and the judgment from the western perspective.
Piquet made a joke about Senna being dead and he still being alive. I know what I think of Piquet...
i wouldnt joke about it but as far as im concerned Senna having died disqualifies him as beeing the best f1 driver of all times ; i mean if you would compare it to a game ; if you die you loose ... so as far as im concerned Prost pretty much won the rivalry and schumacher is better then Senna ; Unpopular opinion perhaps but senna has 3 world championship and so does piquet ; difference is one is dead and the other is still here to this day to tell the tale and i guess piss people off once in a while ... piquet also drove in a time where it was pretty much garanteed that one or two drivers wouldnt finish the season alive while in the 90s the cars were way much safer to the point that his death was a shock for most since it had been ages since a driver had died in f1 ;
100% ban. No room for ignorance.
Hamilton routinely displays ageism by calling people old in a disparaging way. F1 should not tolerate such disgusting behavior
Why are you defending blatant racism though?
@@Gofex1337 why do you murder people?
Wait wait… are you saying Hamilton should be punished for saying some views held by older people are out of touch? You’re focused on that right now? Not what was said in the first place? Christ
@@jumoreno43 Hamilton has a history of disparaging comments towards older folks. This displays an underlying systemic bias. Two wrongs do not make a right and we should denounce hate in all forms.
@@robertm5969 when these comments are in response to a racist comment from said older folk, I don’t think that makes Lewis the bad guy here lol I have no idea how this is what you’re paying attention to and not what caused it…

Will Kyvat talk to his former father in law?
I missed what even happened. What did Nelson get asked?! And what was this racist response?!?!?!?
Is the abuse of the "Race Card" also wrong? :P I wish i was as "disadvantaged" as Lewis
God max is so based I love it
Yes..a lifetime ban from any F1 paddock..he is a sick man
Looks like everyone has all the right opinions
Banned from the Paddock?! Damn! What did this nigga say?? Haha fuck thatd be harsh.
Just tellem its unacceptable and move on. And dont let any bigitry systematically be implemented. That it.
More people care about racism in F1 rhen F1 in general. How about all of you get out of my sport and enjoy crying about politics and social issues somewhere else. Nelson Piquet deserves to be allowed on the paddock more then anybody reading this. Get off your moral high horse and just enjoy the sport, if you are here for drama or enjoy it you need to watch something else.
wow
1 word isn't 'remarks' it's 'remark'
NO RED BULL ADVISOR DR HELMUT MARKO QUOTES THIS WEEK DILLIN 😢
It's slang, people who don't understand the culture need to educate themselves that words mean different things around the world. Pinning it on racism is just a way for Hamilton to put the spotlight on himself. If Hamilton really wanted change, he would go to Piquet in public, have an educated discussion, come out together and show people the solidarity and forgiveness. Instead he wants to ban him. How is that progress?
Sorry, how has Hamilton put himself in the spot light. It wasn’t him using offensive language about another person, it was Piquet who was repeating the same “slang” as he used in 2016, apologised for, but repeated again in 2021. To be honest honest he could have used any number of terms of terms, but he choice to use one with a racial overtone. He might not be a full blow card carrying member of the KKK, but he still exhibits racist tendencies, and to be honest F1 doesn’t need turds like him.
Come on people. Notning going on
The Spitting Image take on Lewis Hamilton is spot on :)
What Nelson did was definitely unacceptable. But Max is bang-on. That whole thing that Nelson's misbehavior last November is handily leaked right before the British GP is clearly a major topic created by the media to benefit.
Max.. JFC.. just focus on driving and sit this conversation out. How do you manage to be on the wrong side of this.. 🙄
How is he on the wrong side?
@@InfinityX2 how is he on the right side.
@@celwilsonyou are dodging my question by asking a question. You stated he is on the wrong side and I am curious what your reasoning for that is. Nothing more nothing less. But I think I may just be able to move on without you backing up your statement
@@InfinityX2 It's pretty clear what side Max is on. The side of shielding racist behavior by dismissing it as being blown out of proportion. Max is a smart person. I won't go as far as call him a racist but making excuses for that kind of remark isn't a good look. I'm fairly certain you knew where I was coming from prior to this explanation.. but there it is nice n plain for you.
What did he say? Did he call Lewis an n-bomb?
Oooh no lol redbull needs to hide max away from the press!! Smh
Ham is Ageist!! Just as bad!! Maybe worse because it's directed to a larger population
But why these words about something already happend in November 2021? Is it by purpose before the race of Silverstone? Is it psylogity by SKY, Mercedes and Hamilton to de stablize Verstappen?
I'm in disgust over the fact that they try to put Max in the middle of this secondly banning this person from The paddock does not help the situation at all and the fact that it's gotten this much press is ridiculous they need to focus on the bigger picture and not the actions of one person. Typical of the media to blow up small little issues in stead of targeting the beast
Birds of e same feather flock together…?
Sure until someome calls him a stingy kaaskop
the thing is he said it after the British GP and in the context he said it he was demeaning Hamilton with that word. he knew exactly what it meant and what it does and therefore decided to use it
he may not be a racist but he used it in a racist context so I agree with the ban tbh
Yuri didn’t said it in a context manner and lost it all, why can’t this old man?
oh noes he called a blvck person, wait for it..blvck!
along as you guys say shit like”white boy” “white guy” idgaf about your feelings
Nah he definitely meant it in a racist way.
The meaning of the word can be discussed. But the intent in which it was used cannot. This is about as obvious of a case as the Amber Heard one.
@@Gofex1337 who cares?
Well, when you have known racist like Bernie supporting Nelson remarks it just make things 10x worst.
Nothing beats it on the worst scale having English media coming up with all kinds of crazy mistranslations for a harmless word, then when called out start saying its also about the context, stating he called every other driver by name, then when that also turns out to be false since Piquet in yhat same interview called another driver "o outro" ("the other"), theyre not digging up instances of Piquet actually being racist, which certainly theres plenty of, making the whole thing pretty depressing
What yhey probavly wont do is apologize for defaming an entire language and culture vased on crazy mistranslations of words and admit the source of it was the fact they are not qualified to be journalists
Watchin a bunch of woke Brits tell Brazilians what a term means is hilarious. Ask any Brazilian, that term isnt insulting
Here we have a man, who is quietly supporting racism.
Acting like he didn’t say it in a demeaning way. And then continuing to say that Lewis was “too busy fucking men”
The term is used in many, many different situations. Specially in Rio, it's 100% part of their daily vocabulary. It's like word 'sick' for example: literally means you're ill, but also can mean something is really cool. Family members and couples use the word neguinho/nego to express affection, also when you don't know someone you refer to them as neguinho, in a very casual manner (again specially in Rio). The second example being the closest to Piquet's case (which, guess what, was born in Rio). When you don't know someone's name, don't care, or want to be indirect (not mention names) saying 'neguinho did this' would be one of the expected ways of saying it. It's exactly the same as saying 'some random guy did this'. That's it. Congratulations to Hamilton, F1, British media and everyone else involved. You all look like a bunch of clowns in Brazil, except for minority activists of course.
@@arnoldmbuthia2687 And here we have a man who clearly has a very sad and escalating view of how racism works. If you think really the way you do, then why has Piquet, the most unapologetic driver in f1 history, apologised and said he doesn't support racism? Of course I bet you missed that one as you were too concentrated on seeking racism from places where it doesn't exist.
A black person in the US can call another black person the n-word, even affectionately by referring to him as "my n-word", and it's not racist at all.
But go ahead as a white person and call a black person you don't like that word while talking shit about him. See if it's interpreted as racist. And sprinkle some gay comments on top of it. Surely it's acceptable. No?
He is not his father in law max and Kelly are not married
Voila! Max the lawyer.
Ahh max you just messed up with this big time
Max is after all Nelson Piquet’s prospective son in law
Keep the racism in the family otherwise don’t ever defend it.
Don’t say Nelson was wrong but ……..
super rich super talent. . super insure. isn't briatorie more evil? than Nelzo? I am willing to bet one of Lewis 's bros has said worse in front of him. ?
If Piquet actually referred to Lewis as "n****r", than all this would be "somewhat" justified. But, from what I understand, the word he said is not a slur, but a term that basically means "black guy" in Portuguese. Just because word sound similar doesn't immediately make it racist.
Shit take tbh. Piquet referred to every other driver by their name except Lewis.
@@jzriw So is it about race or about banter? What he said is factually not racist. At worst it was mocking him which isn't racist either.
But his tone didn’t sound like he was being friendly
@@incognito_. if you would have seen someone of your family almost get killed by someone i bet you wouldnt sound friendly either ; he almost killed max in that crash and showed no remorse whatsoever
@@jzriw Who cares?
Max Verstappen - Rational adult response.
Lewis Hamilton - Professional victim and manchild.
Nelson used the word little black guy, he did not use the n word which was used often in usa. Not sure what kind of horrible things Lewis went through but discrimination is every where. It is not just against people with different type of skin pigmenterion. When for example Lauda during RTL Plus F1 presentation named word "Polaken" referring to Kubica. Nothing was said about it, nothing! Even though this was said on live international tv. In Austria word "Polaken" is disrespectful way referring to Polish people. At least the German commentator, corrected Lauda. All of this looks to me as kind of propaganda. If you look at just the western world, all of us, we simply do not get equal chance ,that's it and this is true discrimination and its tragic. I live near what one could say a getto .Those people have practically zero chance of making it in real life. Kids growing up in such gettos, will have drugs, alcohol offered to them, they can be forced into ganges, prostitution. This people, is real tragedy but nobody cares, nobody seams to notice. All they care is about some saying the N WORD. You know why because it is easy. I mean most people do not give a darnn, only media does. And if media does care, it means people owning the media care about it, you know the ritch those ones that manipulate your life and manipulate your mind what you should care and think about, in other words it is propaganda. Of course saying about someone that he is a little black guy does not sound nice. When some boddy would call me little for sure I know it is not a compliment. But again it does not make you a races. I had the luck or perhaps the bad luck , to have worked in few country's, some people will like you some will not and some will make your life a hell. And belive me, no matter what country no, matter what skin pigmentation they had, they all descriminated. I mean I did alright, but I saw true racism and this in bigges corporations you can imagine. At the moment it looks like that Lewis is a little frustrated guy because he rides this racism wave, eventhough noting truly racesed was said. But what can you expect froma guy who sponsors Black's lives matter, a movement that only cares to disrupt our society and for sure they do not care about pour people. I think it is time to go for Lewis, he is not peace searching man he is not jett on that level. But I know he is trying, he need time on his own at this moment he has no peace of mind and does things that plays in to favor of what the media propaganda is doing. In a way he is beeing used and that sad 😔. He is a great very talented driver. But he is not the next Messiah. He has a lot to learn about life. He needs to talk to Nelson and apologize for the overreaction and for helping to blow this out of proportion.
well said!
