As soon as the podcast caught public attention, the three time world champion has been facing a lot of criticism from all directions.
Celebrities from all over the world came to the forefront to support Lewis Hamilton, who himself was pretty quiet on the whole issue for a really long time. But, he recently broke his silence on this controversy by saying that he has been subjected to this behavior all his life and his isn’t something new for him. But, he also said that he’ll keep fighting people like Nelson Piquet to put an end to racism.

The FIA even had to intervene to publicly condemn the words of the former F1 driver. But, in the latest development to this story, Nelson Piquet has come out and shockingly said that nothing he said was racist or wrong in any manner.

Nelson Piquet responds to his racially abusive comments against Lewis Hamilton
Nelson Piquet reacting to his racially abusive remarks against Lewis Hamilton said, “This is all bullshit, I am not racist. There is nothing, nothing I said wrong. What I said is a very soft word – we even use it for some of our white friends.“
“I used this word almost one year ago in the interview and they come up with this. It has caused me some problems but to be honest with you I don’t really care.”
“Here I have no obligations to do anything any publicity, nothing, just a bit of racing and I have really been enjoying.”
Nelson Piquet continues to put fuel to fire which will make this controversy grow bigger and bigger. We hope that this controversy comes to an end as quickly as possible.
