Relax. Isn't it usual for teams to ask the governing body in advance for clarification when the rules appear to be unclear? I see it thusly: Mercedes developed the idea of the second stay, asked FIA for clarification who then publish their interpretation. Nothing fishy, in my opinion.F1 2023 stuff not worthy of it's own thread

Piquet racist slur against hammy seems to be dominating the pre Silverstone talk. Not sure when it was said, some interview last year.
Still love Nelson but he's a senile idiot these days, driving bolsonaro round half the time, and spouting shite the rest. This has made the front page of BBC news lol

Thankfully I live in a country where nobody really talks about racism and its political gains. The luxury of living in a country where 98% of population has the same skin color and we have zero colonial sins to wash

That happened a year ago, why bring it up now? I don't see the point in stirring it all up again and making a big deal of it after so long.

The interview is from last year. Piquet was very sore about hammy running max off the road. No excuse mind.
Not really sure why it's surfaced now, you'd have thought the hammy fans would have used it before the end of last season

Throw in the Max Factor ..... potential son in law of Nelson. (I think Max and Kelly Piquet are still 'an item'.)

I get that Nelson was annoyed on his potential future son in laws behalf at the time, and I understand he said the wrong thing. I still don't see the point of hashing it all over again 12 long months later! If he'd have insulted anyone else I bet they wouldn't even mention it this year, but whatever. For me it's a non news item, not the scandal some of twitter seems to be making out it isWhite six wrote: ↑1 year agoYes they are, was in montreal.

Bit extreme that it's on the front page of the BBC, I agree.

Max probably mature enough now to laugh off the inevitable questions

It is a problem, and it is going to haunt Nelson Piquet and those related to him for a while, including his daughter who liked a response by a relative that has since been deleted. It is clearly a racist remark (actually he says it twice). Try watching the videos of the remarks on youtube with a member of the current generation and see what their responses are. Most won't dismiss it as nothing.

Nelson will be shuffling off soon enough, why would this 'haunt' his relatives? He's just a daft old man that everyone would be ignoring if it wasn't for Twitter.Ruslan wrote: ↑1 year ago It is a problem, and it is going to haunt Nelson Piquet and those related to him for a while, including his daughter who liked a response by a relative that has since been deleted.

Indeed everyone did ignore him before Kelly and max became a thing.
The whole of my dad's side of the family are racist to one degree or another, does it haunt me? Nope

1. Daft old men: We do have respected forum members who are near his age. At 69 years old, he is younger than our last two presidents !!! He is decades younger than Bernie.
2. You are not in the public eye and your future son-in-law is not racing against the guy you just insulted. He also has a history of this (as all Senna and Mansell fans are aware). So it does put Kelly and Max in a difficult spot. This is not the type of PR problem I would want to deal with.

Nobody else with his world media profile would dream of hanging around with bolsonaro. I'm sure his family are well used to dealing with his eccentricities, and will brush this off

Well, the problem is not whether his family can deal with it, the problem is that he just caused a problem for his daughter, his potential future son-in-law, and of course Red Bull Racing. This is not what they needed leading into the British Grand Prix. It is a sensitive issue with a lot of people, and it does add a narrative to the last year's formula one season that formula one does not need.White six wrote: ↑1 year agoLol, I wasn't referring to any forum members and not all old men are daft.

According to the guardian, F1 have banned him from events until he apologizes. Dunno if he'll care enough to do that, we'll see.
He can always come in the general admission area with me on Sunday
