The past couple of months have been very difficult for people across the world. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has been very tough to witness, with so many countless lives being lost. Piquet recently took to her Instagram story to reveal her perspective regarding the ongoing war. Moreover, she also shared various posts on her Instagram stories that could help the viewers understand the reasoning and impact of the war.
The Brazilian model directly addressed her fans with her brave and heartfelt confession. She wrote, “I can’t stop thinking about all pain, suffering mourning, trauma, shock, despair that the Palestinians in Gaza are living through right now. To imagine all the young innocent souls that have been lost, entire families wiped out, parentless children, and parents who’ve had to hug their dead children.”
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.

Like Kelly Piquet, Lewis Hamilton also shared his honest thoughts and the difficulty this situation has created. Similar to Piquet, he too has been affected by this ongoing war. Following his crash, he stated that heading into the United States Grand Prix was difficult. With the ongoing war probably being one of the reasons affecting him personally.
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.
