Lewis Hamilton Reveals Former Formula One boss Eddie Jordan comment on Nelson Piquet’s ‘grossly unacceptable’ N-word slur towards him

Eddie Jordan, a former team owner in Formula One, criticized Bernie Ecclestone for saying he would “take a bullet” for Vladimir Putin and stated Nelson Piquet’s apologies for using the N-word in reference to Lewis Hamilton “doesn’t stand up.”

In response to Mr. Ecclestone’s defense of the Russian President as a “first-class person” despite his invasion of Ukraine, Mr. Jordan referred to Mr. Ecclestone’s remarks as “indefensible” and “inappropriate.” The 91-year-old ex-F1 owner then reiterated the

highly contentious statements before oddly justifying Piquet’s usage of the N-word by saying the term was “the same” as calling someone overweight. However, Mr. Jordan stated to GB News prior to today’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone:

“I’m fairly certain Bernie didn’t exactly either understand what he was saying or what he was asking him – I’m not trying to excuse him because it’s indefensible.” You cannot justify such a response. I was shocked because I’m a big supporter of Bernie.

When you witness the suffering and strife that is occurring with people, even their own people in Russia and what is occurring in Ukraine, it horrifies and depresses me. However, he is responsible for his own behavior, is aware that this was stated,

and realizes that it was inappropriate for him to say given the circumstances. Mr. Jordan also denounced Piquet’s insult to Hamilton, a seven-time world champion. Piquet was prohibited from Silverstone earlier this week after referring to

No of how he felt about it, Mr. Jordan continued, “It’s startling what he said, there was no need for him to say such a thing.” And his regret. I’m sorry, it just And given that this man has received support from the sport, I believe Lewis has taken this to heart.

He was a tremendous champion, but still, this is completely unacceptable in any field and by anyone, no matter who. After defending Piquet’s words, Max Verstappen, who narrowly beat Hamilton to the world championship last year, has also drawn criticism.

The reigning world champion, who is seeing Piquet’s daughter, claimed that the controversy had been “blown out of proportion.” Over the course of the Grand Prix weekend, he has been met by boos and jeers. But Hamilton has made it clear that

He disapproves of the hundreds of thousands of racegoers who are jeering the Dutch driver. nDrivers prefer politics to stay out of sports, Mr. Jordan said, adding, “But he’s right, isn’t he, because you look at any major event—whether it’s

Wimbledon, the Open Championship in golf, or motor racing—there is a sentiment among the competitors, you know, forget the politics. Let’s try to act with sportsmanship, which is what we do best, and let’s be very clear about what Lewis has done,

not just for himself but for his family. “He is revered in motor racing in Britain and all across the world.” Seven times world champion, he
