Nelson Piquet used homophobic language against Lewis Hamilton, new footage shows.
The three-time former world champion used the phrase on a podcast when describing how Hamilton missed out on the 2016 championship to Nico Rosberg.
He said of Hamilton: “The [racist term] must have been [homophobic slur] at the time. He was pretty bad.”
It comes days after Piquet apologised “wholeheartedly” to Hamilton for using a racial slur.
The 69-year-old was said to have used language that’s equivalent or similar to the N-word while discussing a collision between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen on a Brazilian podcast in 2021.
Addressing that interview, Piquet had said he “strongly condemned” any suggestion his remarks were intentionally racist.
