Former F1 world champion Nelson Piquet could face legal charges and even a possible jail term for allegedly making racist and homophobic comments about former world champion Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Rio-based sports daily Lance reported that three Brazilian lawmakers have filed a lawsuit against Piqué that could result in a fine and even jail time of up to 3 years.

Pique called Hamilton a racist during an interview when he spoke in an interview about an accident that occurred between Hamilton and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen during last year’s Silverstone race when they collided with each other. The Little Negro (Lewis Hamilton) drove the car into a corner, knowing that two cars could not get into this turn at the same time, ”said Piquet. – Luckily, only the other guy (Max Verstappen) managed to crash his car. I finished the race.”
