Из интервью с Патриком Хедом:

Nelson was great. He could be evil with his team-mate - particularly if his team-mate was called Nigel Mansell - but he was a great team player. When he won his F3 championship (in 1973) he was heavily involved in running that team. Nelson would know the names of all of his mechanics. He knew when their birthdays were and it wasn’t false, be was just very much into ,‘his' men who were around him in the team. If you had a wet day's testing with nothing happening on the track, Nelson could keep the team entertained with jokes from nine in the morning till you went home in the evening. He was very funny - but not a good guy to have as an enemy, I’d say.

Из интервью с Дереком Уориком:

DW: When Martin had his accident, I ran
straight to the scene. I haven’t got a lot of time
for Nelson Piquet -  there’s a lot he says and
does that I don’t totally agree with -  but he put

his car sideways on the circuit to protect Martin
and I thought that was a pretty brave thing to do
because the red flag wasn’t out at that stage.
