Op de sociale media hebben verschillende teams, rijders en personen uit de (auto)sportwereld gereageerd op de racistische uitspraak van Nelson Piquet en wordt zevenvoudig F1-kampioen Lewis Hamilton gesteund. Opvallend is het stilzwijgen van Red Bull, het team van Max Verstappen.

Huge respect to LH. He has done more for the sport than any driver in history, not just on track but off it. The fact that he and so many others are STILL having to deal with this behaviour is unacceptable. We all need to stand together against discrimination of any kind. https://t.co/E4c1jFQKtf

McLaren Racing stands alongside @LewisHamilton and @F1.

Racism must be driven out of our sport, and it’s our shared responsibility to unite and eliminate it.

We stand with @LewisHamilton and all those around the world affected by racism or discrimination of any kind.

There is no room for this abhorrent behaviour in our sport or society. https://t.co/veBLMFO7eW

Once again we are reminded about how fundamentally important it is to have Sir Lewis Hamilton in our sport. #F1 would be a far poorer place without him. A lot of you held Piquet to account and kept banging the drum – you deserve credit too. 🙏🏻
