Bad news comes to the former world champion Formula 1 Nelson Piquet, as two days ago a statement appeared for the press, in which he called the 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton “little black”. To read the details of the story, click here.
International sites began digging into Piquet’s past as dailystar.co.uk reminded its visitors that between 1986 and 1987 Piquet had a bitter rivalry with his Williams teammate Nigel Mansell as they competed for the driver’s title. As they fight for supremacy in the era’s dominant team, their rivalry becomes very personal as Pique crosses the moral line several times. Once, in an interview with the Brazilian edition of Playboy magazine in the late 1980s, he criticized Piqué Mansell and targeted his wife Roseanne. “Mansell argues a lot, he is rude, and he has a very ugly wife. He’s arrogant and after he started winning races, he started treating everyone really badly,” Piqué said.
