Nelson Piquet's Lewis Hamilton insult has been downgraded to debauchery.
Nelson Piquet will no longer have to pay for offensive comments made against Lewis Hamilton after a Brazilian judge annulled the fine he was given.
During a podcast the Brazilian described Hamilton as a “neguinho” which translates to “little black man” and he received widespread condemnation for the remark as well as a banning order from the F1 paddock. The Brazilian’s lawyers appealed the decision, which was initially rejected, but now the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories has annulled the conviction.
