Nelson Piquet must pay 5 million Brazilian reals (about £780,000) for racist and homophobic comments against Lewis Hamilton, according to the Times of London. The action was brought not by Hamilton, but by four Brazilian human rights groups. The article isn't entirely clear, but it looks as though the money must be paid to Hamilton, though the amount includes a "punitive" as well as compensatory element. This is because of Piquet's 2021 comments after the British GP crash.

If you have a Times subscription you can read it here, but I'm sure it'll be all over the news.
