British Racing Driver Lewis Hamilton currently represents Mercedes in Formula One. In addition to holding the records for the most wins, pole positions, and podium finishes, The F1 Star has also won a joint-record seven World Drivers’ Champion Titles.
It goes without saying that he has already captured everyone’s attention with both his performance and lifestyle. However, this time he has recently come to light for a different purpose which is wearing jewelry in the race.
Although it is not a new rule that drivers cannot wear jewelry for safety reasons, FIA has been particularly severe about this this year, which first irritated Hamilton.
The fact that he was spotted with a nose stud in Singapore GP has various consequences for both he and Marcedes. Hamilton was called before picky race officials to explain why he was in violation of the FIA International Sporting Code by sporting a nose piercing.
The Mercedes Star wore jewelry for years. He detects infection and a sizable sore on his nose when he takes off the jewelry. For this very reason. his doctor recommends that he maintain it.
Despite the enforcement of FIA rules, he continues to wear jewelry as an medical issues. Mercedes, however, was penalized €25,000 after submitting a self-scrutineering document to the FIA stating that the driver complied with the prohibition against body piercing jewelry.
“In recent times, Hamilton had the piercing removed before the competition. Without asking Hamilton, the team thought he had already followed or would follow the same process for this event “, the FIA stewards concluded in their decision. “The stewards accept that the error in the declaration in this case was not intentional or deliberate. Given these circumstances, we fine the team €25,000.”
The driver was called to the stewards after arriving at the Singapore GP with his stud still on sight this weekend. Hamilton had been bringing his stud out before each practice. The team neglected to disclose that Hamilton’s medical documents had been reviewed and approved by Dr. Ian Roberts, the deputy medical delegate, according to the FIA, which resulted in a fine.
Toto Wolff, the head of the Mercedes team, responded to Sky F1’s inquiry regarding the circumstance. “I’ve lost count of piercings, I don’t know.” The Austrian said, “Let’s see what the stewards say. The governing body of Formula One.” The FIA provided an update that stated: “The Team Manager explained that the team was unaware that HAM [Hamilton] had a piercing.
However, Hamilton had a challenging race on the track on Sunday after falling from third on the grid to ninth after making numerous mistakes. He is currently in sixth place in the drivers’ standings with 170 points, far behind the 341 points Max Verstappen has earned to lead the championship.
Hamilton & Verstappen are going to be like Rossi & Marquez.
