Max Verstappen’s reaction to Nelson Piquet’s comments
Max Verstappen also came out and kept his views on the Nelson Piquet controversy, he kept his path safe by supporting Lewis over the racism changes but also marked Nelson as a non-racist person.
“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,” said Max.
Lewis Hamilton is now in his backyard and is hoping to crack another win, his 9th, and keep his words against racism yet again.
