Piquet’s pouring of heart is not only her sharing her true feelings. But also a brave step by her. Especially considering that the debate regarding ‘who’s right who’s wrong’ has been so heated and controversial. A lot of celebrities have been getting unjustified hate and abuse from social media users. Kelly Piquet herself has been the victim of this. As she addressed her story she had received a number of obscene DMs.

She further added, “It’s only Human to live in freedom and peace. It’s only Humann to ask for a cease-fire. It’s only Human to ask for the protection of all CHILDREN. I stand with peace… I stand for freedom.” Piquet’s words reflect her empathy towards the people affected by the war.

Kelly Piquet’s honest words encourage not just F1 fans, but everyone to be more compassionate and aware of the suffering around the world. A thought Lewis Hamilton often deeply propagates.

The war between Israel and Palestine demonstrates that even celebrities and star athletes can be affected emotionally. At the end of the day, situations like this war can severely impact the focus of an athlete. Moreover, lack of sleep, over-thinking, and anxiousness can follow, if one gets too deep into this.  This is why this further highlights that F1 personalities too are humans and can struggle.
