Three-time Formula One world champion Nelson Piquet has been ordered to pay 5,000,000 Brazilian Reals (£780,000) for making comments about Lewis Hamilton. The Brazilian, 70, referred to Hamilton in Portuguese as “neguinho” in an interview in late 2021 when referring to the first lap incident between the Mercedes driver and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at that year’s British Grand Prix. Piquet, whose daughter Kelly is Verstappen’s girlfriend, later apologised for his "ill-thought-out" language, arguing that the term was “one that has widely and historically been used colloquially in Brazilian Portuguese as a synonym for ‘guy’ or ‘person’ and was never intended to offend”. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-...omments-lewis/ I would hope he will appeal as it seems crazy high? |

But the money goes somewhere. Surely we should know it's going to some sort of charity.
Not that it will disappear into someone's pocket. It's like most huge fines. I'd really like to know who gets the money. |

POW! BLAM!

However gross his comments were, it's ridiculous that anyone would have to shell out any money just for saying something mean.

However in today's society he could've been arrested for his comments, so he was lucky to avoid that punishment at least.
