Hamilton, the seven-time F1 champion and only Black driver, was reacting to com- ments made last year by three- time F1 champion Nelson Piquet referring to Hamilton by a racial term. The word in question was brought to atten- tion this week. Piquet is the fa- ther of Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet. Former longtime F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone defended Piquet on Thursday, said he was surprised Hamilton hadn’t “brushed it aside,” and expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s in- vasion of Ukraine. “I don’t know why we are continuing to give these older voices a platform because they’re speaking upon our sport and we’re looking to go somewhere completely differ- ent.

USC and UCLA fit the Big Ten’s academic profile. Both schools are among the 65 members of the Association of American Universities, which is made up of top research uni- versities. All Big Ten schools except Nebraska are members. “The Pac-12 has always shared our values and contin- ues to innovate, working hard on behalf of its student-athletes and many fans,” UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond said. “At the same time, each school faces its own unique challenges and circumstances, and we be- lieve this is the best move for tive, I think, of who we are as a sport now and where we’re planning to go,” Hamilton said, without mentioning either Pi- quet or Ecclestone by name. “These old voices, whether subconsciously or consciously, do not agree that people like me, for example, should be in a sport like this, do not agree women should be here,” Ham- ilton said. “Discrimination is not something we should be projecting or promoting.” In an apparent response to Ecclestone’s comments, Ham- ilton added: “No one should have to brush off racism, and it shouldn’t be for me to brush it off.” Verstappen said that Piquet had been wrong to use a word he described as “very, very of- fensive” but doesn’t consider him to be racist. He added Pi- quet’s lifetime paddock access given to former F1 champions should not be revoked. “Let it be a lesson for the future not to use that word be- cause it’s very, very offensive, and especially nowadays, it gets more and more traction,” he said. “But I spend a lot of time with Nelson, I think, more than the average person in general. And he’s definitely Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain wears a face covering during a press conference at the Silverstone race track in Silverstone, England, on Thursday. The British F1 Grand Prix is set for Sunday. not a racist, and he’s actually a really nice and relaxed guy. Verstappen said he had not confronted Piquet. Hamilton said he wanted F1 to do more to widen the diversity and inclusivity of the sport. Hamilton is work- ing with his Mercedes team to fund projects to promote more female participation in auto racing and engineering scholarships for Black stu- dents with a focus on auto rac- ing. They announced the first grants Thursday. Piquet was suspended Thursday from his honorary membership of the British Rac- ing Drivers’ Club, which owns and runs the Silverstone track used for this week’s Grand Prix. The BRDC said Piquet’s use of “racially offensive lan- guage to describe a fellow BRDC member is unaccept- able and represents conduct that is wholly inappropriate for an Honorary Member of the BRDC, notwithstanding his subsequent apology.” The BRDC added that its board UCLA at this time. For us, this move offers greater certainty in rapidly changing times and en- sures that we remain a leader in college athletics for genera- tions to come.” The move to the Big Ten would greatly enhance USC and UCLA’s revenues. The Pac- 12 distributed only $19.8 mil- lion per school in fiscal year 2021, by far the least among Power 5 conferences. The Big Ten’s per-school distribution was $46.1 million, second only to the SEC’s $54.6 million. The Pac-12 has had diffi- culty getting its conference television network untracked while the Big Ten Network is the most established of the conference networks. USC and UCLA would be taking a step up in football, both in visibility and compe- tition. “Pac-12 After Dark” tele- vised games that kick off in the middle to late evenings in most of the country have made it difficult for the conference to get exposure. The Pac-12 has had teams in the College Foot- ball Playoff just twice — Ore- gon (2014 season) and Wash- ington (2016). Losing flagship schools like USC and UCLA will be a ma- jor blow to the Pac-12, which has had a long and amicable relationship with the Big Ten best exemplified by its Rose Bowl partnership. The Big Ten, Pac-12 and At- lantic Coast Conference last August formed an alliance in the wake of Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC. The conferences said the 41 mem- bers would take a collabora- tive approach to charting the future of athletics. The three conferences set up scheduling arrangements in some sports and have pooled resources to promote athlete welfare. Less than a year later, the fu- ture of the alliance would ap- pear uncertain if the Big Ten takes two of the Pac-12’s big- gest brands. USC and UCLA would be severing conference relation- ships that go back a century. USC joined California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stan- ford, Washington and Wash- ington State in the Pacific Coast Conference in 1922, fol- lowed by UCLA in 1928. They went together in 1959 into the Athletic Association of West- ern Universities, which melded into the Pac-8 in 1968, the Pac- 10 in 1978 and Pac-12 in 2011. “These old voices, whether subconsciously or consciously, do not agree that people like me, for example, should be in a sport like this, do not agree women should be here.” — Lewis Hamilton, F1 driver Matt dunham/aP was expected to cancel Piquet’s membership at a forthcoming meeting. Piquet on Wednesday apolo- gized to Hamilton but said the term, while “ill thought out,” was not meant to be offensive. Piquet used the term three times while discussing a crash between Hamilton and Ver- stappen during last year’s Brit- ish Grand Prix. Even without Piquet’s com- ments, this week’s return to Silverstone would have had a heightened focus on the often-bitter rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen last year. Verstappen crashed into the wall and was taken to a hospital for observations, while Hamilton went on to win despite a penalty. Hamilton faced racist abuse on social media following the race; Verstappen complained it was classless for Hamilton to celebrate a win while Verstap- pen was being evaluated at the hospital. There has been widespread condemnation of Piquet’s re- marks from F1 management, governing body the FIA and from most of the drivers. Zhou Guanyu of Alfa Ro- meo said Thursday that he experienced “quite a lot of negativity, racist comments, which never should happen” on social media around the time he signed his contract to become the first driver from China in F1. “Lewis, in a way, is trying to help the world going forward, and it’s not just for us, it’s for the younger generation, to set a better example for them,” Zhou added. Verstappen’s Red Bull team issued a statement Tuesday saying “the team do not con- done any form of racism.” It made no mention of Piquet and focused on the team’s deci- sion to fire Formula Two driver Jüri Vips for using a racial slur during an online gaming stream.
