NELSON PIQUET. IL TALENTO, L'ASTUZIA
Nelson Piquet was and will remain a unique driver in the history of F1. Not because he was the best of them all - records belong to others - rather because today there could not be another like him.
His easygoing manner, his spontaneity in expressing his thoughts even at the expense of others' criticism, marked his way of being identified. Like him or not, Piquet had no reverential fears and was not gagged by etiquette. Something that today, in F1 dominated by politically correct, would never be possible.
Public opinion in the third millennium would immediately condemn a character like that. Mediatically he was able to sell himself very well, and the interviews on the starting grid with Ezio Zermiani still remain unrepeatable gems.
And yet, to counterbalance this innate irreverence and apparent superficiality, there was an extremely skilful driver: technical, because he knew mechanics, having started from the garage floor, very sensitive in tyre development, but above all able to cross different F1 eras, adapting to the features of cars he drove.
In short, a unique character and one to be rediscovered in order to re-evaluate him as he merits.
