Piquet Junior does not only has the Brazilian nationality, also the Dutch. Not only by blood (his mother is Dutch) but also official: he has a Dutch passport.

I added "and Dutch" in the box below his picture.

OK, that can go in the article, if you have a reference to back it up. It does not go in the F1 infobox, which gives the nationality the driver races for. The FIA (F1's governing body) takes passport nationality, but does not allow drivers to compete under dual nationality - Piquet is racing under the Brazilian flag, so has presumably chosen it.

Were do I get the reference for that?(!) The Dutch commentator for the Dutch Formula 1 television programs always referring to Piquet junior as the only Dutchman in formula 1, or as the only driver with a Dutch passport. (He has a 100% Dutch mother.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.156.58 (talk) 17:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Here's your reference [1].

Translation:

Nelson Angelo (Nelsinho) Piquet was born in Germany as the son of Brazilian Nelson Piquet and of Dutch Sylvia Tamsma. Because of that, he has a Brazilian passport and a Dutch passport... DutchDevil (talk) 11:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
