Yeah, I caught a blurb of that but didn't read it. Now I can't remember where I saw it, to go back and read it. I think he said something derogatory (really getting that word in today) while doing an online somethingorother.

One of the comments on the Jalopnik article:
"I heard basically the complete opposite:
Piquet called Lewis “o neguinho”. neguinho is the diminutive form of nego which yes, if translated literally does mean “black person” or simply “a black” it is more commonly used in the same way as “dude”. the issue isnt simply the word nego however, it’s the definite article “o” and the diminutive.
If Piquet had said just “nego” that could be translated as “black” (noun, not adjective) or maybe even “n*gga” but it could be passed off as informal speak because it would sound like it however misplaced it may be. the issue here is how he said “o neguinho”, so “the little black (man)“
He said it to clearly belittle Lewis, and anyone saying “in Portuguese it’s not offensive” is wrong, in context it absolutely is racist
And all of this is while he referred to every other driver by name, only Hamiltion by a term like this."

Found it. I only missed it twice on the homepage while looking...

Bernie Ecclestone Said He Would ‘Take a Bullet’ for Putin and Formula 1 Distances Itself Further From Bernie Ecclestone
Formula 1 says ex-boss Bernie Ecclestone is in 'stark contrast' to its values after he said he would 'take a bullet' for Vladimir Putin.
jalopnik.com
Lauda had said some unusual things, but Bernie is just off his fucking rocker. If he wants to take a bullet for Putin, send him on over to Russia and let him. Don't think many people will try to stop him, LOL.
I looked him up, apparently he made some positive comments about hitler in the past as well lol, and has also spoken out against democracy
What a nutjob
This is why Ricciardo needs to be kept around. He's such a good sport. [at the end] Retribution for Lando tryng to kick the ball out from under Daniel.
Starting FP1 now!
From listening to FP1 I think that occurred right after the whole crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Daniel. How cool would that be?
Yeah they did. And then he almost took out one of their national heros
The comment from Landon to Natalie was that it was softer than it looked. But you know there’s a 1000 different angles of it from all the cell phone videos.Yeah they did. And then he almost took out one of their national heros
Don’t try to cheat by kicking the ball out from under your teammate I guess?
Did Mercedes change their wheel covers from black to silver? They used to be black, didn’t they?
