Picket counterattack

Nelson Piquet is not the type to let himself be walked all over without saying anything. After the statements of his director Flavio Briatore questioning his lack of results, the response of the son of the three-time world champion of Formula 1 was not long in coming. In the columns of Autosprint, the Brazilian did not hesitate to criticize his employer.

« Flavio is a businessman but he doesn't understand anything about Formula 1 “, he says. " He's my director but in his role as team manager, he doesn't respect me. He only thinks about money (?) and has no friends. Every day people ask me how I'm doing, so why should I always stay silent? He continues.

Flavio Briatore had previously criticized his pilot by making numerous reproaches. “ When a driver lacks results, he constantly looks for excuses: it?s the fault of the weather, the spectators? sunglasses, a spin on the straight, etc.? ».

The war is now open between the two members of the diamond team. The future of Nelson Piquet could now darken even more in the coming days.
