Three-time F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet has reportedly been unsuccessful in his appeal to overturn his fine issued for racist and homophobic comments he made about Lewis Hamilton.

A [civil] court case was brought against the former F1 racer by four human rights groups, including Brazil’s LGBTQ+ Alliance, in response to multiple interviews emerging where Piquet had used racial slurs against seven-time World Champion Hamilton.

... a court in his native Brazil moved to fine him 5,000,000 Brazilian Reals (£780,000) in ‘moral damages’.

Here's an article from March when the initial verdict was rendered: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/mar/25/nelson-piquet-fined-lewis-hamilton-comments-f1. But recently he lost his attempt to appeal the case.
