The video was actually reported to be from November, so not a year old @peartree.

In addition to what Horacio mentions, i think it might also have been in the context of someone looking back to reactions to the silverstone accident last year, since the comment was made by Piquet as a reaction […]

Right. Sorry @jamesbond. I redid that line a few times and had “some fans” in there, it would have been better to keep it in there to avoid generalising like that. You are right to call me out on that mistake.

It was the N word in Portuguese with used in the diminutive form Andre. From people who watched the footage it was pretty clear that there was rather more of the disrespect and will to be at least insulting (as he […]

He is still a sports hero to many though SadF1fan. Either because they don’t know of all the things @mrfill mentions (i found it worse how he actually went into calling his own son gay for giving into the pressure […]

Well, let’s see whether team or driver are asked over the weekend and what they’ll answer to settle that right @optimaximal (yeah, I think our expectations are similarly low here but even so).

That is quite right @petebaldwin, no one should get away with that kind of stuff.

Nobody is “using this to discredit” anyone S. It was Mr. Piquet himself who discredited himself on broadcast.

That it wasn’t picked up and condemned at the time does not mean he didn’t say it.

One thing these statements do not do, is name piquet, or say that using a slur against someone is a racist thing to do per se; instead they talk about Hamilton merits, which is okay in itself, but it shouldn’t be […]

Well, yes we are all individuals S. And if everybody was treated and judged, and got chances, based on the individual they were you might be right. But you yourself (seem to) acknowledge that’s not the case. […]

I propose that you drop the false question there. Off course this is about trying to make sure that more and more people get opportunities to get more out of themselves, out of their lives S.

Off course it is a […]

Why would anyone miss the sprint? I was glad to have pretty much forgotten about it until you brought it up!

I agree with what @petebaldwin writes above about Leclerc – it was not an issue of him driving badly, […]

I guess it just goes to show the common mistake we make as people – we think a hero in one aspect has to be a hero in all aspects of life, and an example to look up to in all respects and forever. But most often […]

Well argued and said @hazelsouthwell

I’m glad to see Extreme E, skeptical as I was about the whole idea of getting an extra series to race in remote areas to showcase environment, doing a lot of good things […]

Well, I am actually glad those comments did not get picked up widely at the time – they deserve no airtime.

Very sad to keep sing some people in this world, and some F1 people I would like to be able to respect […]

Yeah, that is exactly why they have actually been working on 1. reducing the amount of tyres they supply to teams and are trying to find a way to make it possible for Pirelli to take the tyres off the rims again […]

Yeah, this really isn’t anything new Coventry Climax, we have just mostly ignored it for convenience sake (and profit) over much of my lifetime.

Yeah, if they can just power the grid, it is only about PR with no substance @justrhysism. I hope they can really deliver on their promise of working on a real sustainable ICE fuel where they will be able to ramp […]

Also, @bernasaurus, efforts to prevent tyre cutting probably made edges more rounded but also stronger, so that seems to also helped against breaking them.

They were already clearly stronger in the last 2 years @bernausaurus. I think it might have been a bit of a focus with the latest changes they made to the rules.
