RED BULL chief Christian Horner has slammed Nelson Piquet for his sickening racial abuse of Sir Lewis Hamilton. “And so we took action and we immediately removed him from the team. Red Bull failed to put out a specific statement condemning Piquet, the father of Max Verstappen’s girlfriend Kelly, after his comments emerged. He said: “We put out a statement earlier in the day about Juri, about having zero tolerance for racism, and to then put out another statement about Nelson Piquet…. “I would never use the word I have been accused of in some translations. “I strongly condemn any suggestion that the word was used by me with the aim of belittling a driver because of his skin colour.
