T🧔he FIA insist their regulations are to keep drivers safe.

Hamilton removed ear piercings on Friday but insists that his nose stud cannot be taken out - he has a t🐬wo-race exemption for that item. He hit out at the rules after Saturday’s 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 r♒ings are allowed.”

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

&nbs𒁃p;Hamilton: “Sure. I’ll wear four watches next time.”

The Mercedes driver added꧟: “I mean, this whole safety thing man. 

“When they told ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚme about the jewellery, they were saying safety is everything. 

“I said wꦓell, what's happened for the last 16 years? I've had jewellery on for 16 years. So was was safety not an issue back then? 

“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 tracks with safety, you can't predict every sin🍌gle corner, where we're going to need Tecpro, but safety on track is great. 

“So I think we of c♔ourse after an experience like this weekend, we can know that that’s an area that we can improve on. 🥃But that's a part of the lessons we learned.”

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

Hamilton will start the M💮iami Grand Prix from sixth on 🌺the grid.

Toto Wolff on the F1 jewellery ban...

“What was needed was a dialogue between Lewis and Mohame🔯d,” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said.

“It is clear the regulations ar🌌e 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 with the skin can reduce heat transmꦺission protection and thus may incr𒅌ease the risk of burn injuries in the event of a fire.

“The wearing of jewellery during the competition can hinder both medical interventions as well as subsequent diagnosis and treatment should it be required follow♔ing an accident.

“The presence of jewellery can slow, due to the risk of “snagging”, the emergency removal of driver safety equipment such as h🧜elmet, balaclava, and ov🌞eralls. 

“In ꦺthe case that medical imaging is required 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. 

“Jewel🐠lery in and/or around the airway can pose specific additional risks should it become dislodged during an acciden𓂃t and either ingested or inhaled.” 

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