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”.

I would hope he will appeal as it seems crazy high?
