That might not be possible. If you read that twitter thread it also includes racism and attributes it to a particular group of fans.

Re: Bad Stuff Piquet Has Said
Stewart is well known for his anti Hamilton comments and the phrase "precious little ballerina" is unnecessary. It is derisory though and implies that Hamilton is effeminate. We used to use phrases like "cissy" and "girls blouse" 30 years ago and think nothing of it. The point is that these comments...

It's clear then that you can use an equivalent 'N' word to racially abuse someone then apologise and it will all be OK. Frankly thats repulsive.
The damage is done, the person is injured. Where in law does a person escape with no punishment if they inflict a physical injury!
