The✨ FIA insist their regulations areಌ to keep drivers safe.

Hamilton removed ear piercings on Friday but insists that his nose stud cannot be taken out - he has a two-race exemption for 𝔉that item. He hit out at the rules after Saturday’sꦆ qualifying.

Q: Are you satisfied with the resolution of the jewellery situation?

 Hamilton: "No."

 Q: You are going to have to take nose stud out permanently?

Hamilton: “No”

 Q: Not going to do it? 

Hamilton: “No.”

 Q: What will happen in Monaco?

Hamilton: “I got an exemption here, I’ll get an exemption the rest﷽ of the year. Wedding rings are allowed.”

 Q: Are we going to go through same again for Monaco or not? 

 Hamilton: “Sure. I’ll ꦆwear four watches next time.”

The Mercedes driver added:🔯 “I mean, this ܫwhole safety thing man. 

“When they told me about the j♏ewellery, they were saying safety is everything. 

“I said well, what's happened for the last 16 years? I've had jewellery on f♊or 16 years. So was was safety not an issue back then?&𒁃nbsp;

“When we come to these new tracks, they do the best job. I think they've done a great job in all of these new tra🦩cks with safety, you can't predict every single corner, where we're going to need Tecpro, but safety on track is great. 

“So I think we of course after an experience like this weekend, we can ꦕknow that that’s an area that we can improve on. But that's a part of the lessons we le🐠arned.”

He🎶 had previously said: “I’m willing to sign a waiver to take responsibility away from them, If I need to. It’s about individuality and being who you are.”

Hamilton will start the Miami Grand Prꦬix from s𓆏ixth on the grid.

Toto Wolff on the F1 jewellery ban...

“Wha🍨t was needed was a dialogue between Lewis and Mohamed,” Mercedes team principa🍰l Toto Wolff said.

“It is clearꩵꩵ the regulations are to protect the drivers.

“I am sure they will come to a good resolution.”

What are the FIA rules on jewellery and underwear?

The new guidelines ahead of the Miami GP read: “Metallic objects, such as jewellery, in contact wit🥀h the skin can reduce heat transmission protection and thus may increase the risk of burn injuries in the event of a fire.

“The wearing of jewellery during the competition can hinder both medical interve🐲ntionsꦇ as well as subsequent diagnosis and treatment should it be required following an accident.

“The presence of jewellery can slow, due to the risk of “snagging”, the emergency removal of drive🍷r safety equipment such as helmet, balaclava, and overalls. 

“In the case that medical imaging is rꦛequired to inform diagnosis following an accident the presence of jewellery on the body can cause significant complication and delay. In the worst case the presence of jewellery during imaging may cause further injury.&nওbsp;

“Jewellery in and/or around the airway can pose specific additional risks should it become dislodged during an accident and either ingested or inhale👍d.” 

On the compliant underwear regulation, Wittich said: “The above noted regulation is written to ensure that the FIA-approved Flame-resistant clothing, including both the outer layer overalls and inner layer in contact with the skin ca🧜n operate effectively and provide 🔴the designed level of protection if exposed to flames."
