MS?

In fact little Nelson may be fruit of love between NP, father and MS when they were together at Benetton in 1991... :eek:

If you look the guy, you´ll notice. His big chin is equal his "mother"...

Repeat after me: "It is indeed possible to post to this BB without bashing MS."

So sad...

Isn't Nico Rosberg a similar case? Father is finnish, but mother is German and the kid doesn't speak a word of Finnish.

Yet he drives under the Finnish flag!? :confused:

If this thread has arisen because he races as german (I don't know if he does or not) then the answer is nationality is taken as where your license is from until you race at world championship level. You can get a license from any country you can make a pretense at having an address in.

he does speak Finnish, I've heard him. (and I live with a Finnish person so I know what the language sounds like) Nico speaks 5 languages I think, not bad going!

well that's if the organisers bother to ask rather than just filling in what's on your license in the nationality column

BTW, Nelson Piquet did a great race at F3 on Sunday, started at last position and won the race! He was pole, but it was raining and he spun on warm lap, so he went to the end of the grid, and won the race! After 13 laps, he was already first!

BTW: Piquet considers starting his own British F3 team

BIG photos, last F3 race: (cool, SEE IT!)

Polar

So, i can explain for you about "ius soli " or "ius sanguinis" to describe what NAP is.

But, i think it would be a waste of time...

btw: how can someone think it is a bash for MS? I just picked some german wich worked with Nelson. Ok, i'll change for Manfred Winchenkok.

I believe Nelson Piquet jr. is in fact Dutch.
His mother is Sylivia Tamsma, Nelson's girlfriend in the early 80's.

His son was raised by his mother in Holland after she was replaced by a younger model in 1985 and "only" spent the summers with his father in Brazil.

So he is in fact as "Brazilian" as many British who spend their holidays in the Costa Brava are "Spanish".

I don´t know what Nelson Jr. nationality is, but for sure he´s driving for Brasil. You can see Brasil flag on his coverall.

Just to spice things up, let's hear the boy's father on the subject:

"The Brazilian Racing Confederation demands any driver that just leaved karting to go to Formula Junior, where you pay but can't have your own car or mechanic. So, in order to race in F3, I had to register Nelsinho on that competition as Argentinian."

Very important. If you eat a finn rather than a swede you'll be knocked out. Mind you, I don't like eating swedes either. What if someone puts a finn in a swede? That'd be a turnip for the books.
