MAX VERSTAPPEN claims it is wrong to ban his partner’s dad Nelson Piquet after his racist slur against Sir Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen, who is dating Piquet’s daughter Kelly, condemns any form of racism. Verstappen said: “Everyone is against racism and I think that’s very straight. But he doesn’t need me to tell him what is right and what isn’t. When you ban people, you’re actually not even helping the situation. You’re trying to educate people, so it’s better to have a chat and these things can be easily solved. “People who are not relevant in the sport for years are trying to bring me down but I am still here.”.
