I disagree he could have got more jewellery on
Don't forget that he always wears his jeweled buttplug so can add 1 to the count.
Only 3 watches smh
I'm sure the petulant fool could have.

I love it
yeah I've seen teamlh on twitter they are petty
exactly kkk this aint 1864 lol
He gets paid to wear these watches same as the other drivers with watch sponsorships so Ofcourse having to remove them would be frustrating.
3 watches total btw lol

It's also been mentioned he wears a c*ck ring, which doesn't surprise me. I think that may be the contentious one. Personally I couldn't give a toss if it heats up to cherry red and burns the crap out of him but the rules are there, why is he above them?

As a basketball fan and a new fan of F1, it’s crazy to me that drivers have “uniforms” outside racing let alone having jewelry an issue. If you look what nba players dress coming into the game you will be surprised lol
virtually all F1 drives wear Gucci, Versace or designer clothes coming in to the track virtually every single day. the "uniforms" are essentially sponsors who've purchased screen time.
it's more of a safety thing, you can't compare the two sports lol
He can turn up wearing anything he wants. He's even gotten away with breaking rules by wearing a nonsense political t-shirt on the podium. Problem is if he crashed and needs a MRI they can't do that so easy with studs in his nose or ears.

I totally agree with Lewis. Jewellery is a personal choice, leave it there and focus on areas infinity more important. If Mr Sulayem wishes to continue to pursue the issue then he ought to personally verify the removal of Seb's Prince Albert before every race weekend ;).
@@wilton999 Google what a Prince Albert is 😂
the thing is that if he crashes piercings are not what you want to have in case of a fire on the car or in case they have to perform you x-ray tests for example. im sure there are more reasons
True
Just stfu. Do footballers wear jewellery. Rugby players? It's just a h and s standard. It actually raises the question, why were they allowed in the first place.
That personal choice could determine your life or death, if you need an MRI scan but you have to delay one because the doctors need to search you for metals in your body and remove them surgically, before you are cleared to be placed into an MRI scanner. MRI scanners generate strong magnetic fields, and metals are not allowed in the vicinity because they can become projectiles and harm the patient and the machine.
Admittedly I am a Hamilton critic and this is a topic that I will happily stand in solidarity with Lewis because this isnt just going to stop at jewellery.
Tattoos and jewellery are a form of personal expression. Your body is a canvas, find me an art gallary without paintings or a holy place without a single piece of art on the walls and then come back to me about not allowing jewellery or eventually tattoos.
this rule has been around for 2 decades now and was there to prevent metal puncturing you body in crashes.
It's a safety rule. What's the point of wearing flameproof clothing when you have bits of metal stuck into your skin? He has a choice - comply with the rules or quit
They’ve gone really really pro safety with the new race directors. They’ve stated that they’ll be inspecting underwear to ensure it complies with the fire retardant rules - but also they’re waving a crazy amount of red flags through every session. Imola had 5 red flags just in qualifying, which set a new record!
@@JakeM218 They just red flagged the practice session because Latifi was stopped, off the track. Maybe Mercedes and Hamilton should have been careful what they asked for, re rules being stringent
When the helmet goes on, I fully agree that safety is number one with no exceptions but once the helmet comes off, the driver and what they choose to wear or do isnt really a concern to the FIA. If they want to get into the non-racing side, then I guess all drivers and staff when eating need to eat with plastic cutlery to prevent cuts, all meals to be prepared in liquid form to prevent choking and bubblewrap everyone attending any FIA event.

Toto worked so hard to get rid of Masi for being 'inconsistent' and 'not listening or taking criticism', and now we have some real sticklers for the rules, which is what everyone said they wanted. Well, if we're going to stick to the rules, then metal in/on the body when racing can cause more serious burn injuries and be problematic for equipment like MRI. Surely safety is more important than anything else after what happened with Grosjean.
Exactly. Typical nonsense, Cherry picking what rules to follow. One minute they’re crying bloody murder and the rules aren’t being followed, now they’re being followed too strictly and freedoms are being curbed. Talk about inconsistency!
When has a jewellery accident actually ever happened? Plus this rule was only just introduced and it seems to only really be one against Lewis, so shut up
@@cookerdegree4938 nope. this rule is not new at all. It's decades old. The drivers were just reminded of that rule and now they enforce it. Get your facts straight.
@@HeavyMetalGamingHD it’s clear why they’re enforcing it now and it’s clearly coz of Hamilton. I’m not even a Hamilton fan but it’s obvious
@@cookerdegree4938 Given that Grosjean was in a massive fireball at the end of 2020, I'm not surprised a *new race director* thinks fireproof clothing and metal is important.
What about if they need to put an airway into a driver, and their mouth/nose piercing caused an issue or was stuck in their airway?
Not very likely, but not something worth taking a risk over. Mercedes want the rules strictly applied, remember. For consistency and fairness.
Rather than Hamilton saying it doesn't matter and it's silly, I don't know why he doesn't discuss the wording of the rules, or liability instead.
2021: “ omg FIA didn’t enforce the rules”
2022: “ omg stop enforcing the rules”
We all literally asked for this. It isn’t even a new rule.
Bullshit
Sorry - who asked the FIA to enforce a jewellery rule?? They haven't enforced it for a reason, because it's irrelevant for the sport. They are enforcing it to get Hamilton to retire. First they gifted Max a championship, now they're enforcing a rule that hasn't been enforced since he's been driving.
@@namenotavailable11 gets mad when fia doesn’t enforce the rules… and mad when they do. You’re legit the target audience for this . Lol 😂
It’s health and safety related. I believe to do with defibrillation/medical treatment.
If it is above chest or below waist level then it’s not a defibrillation problem. An AED goes from pad to pad, one goes top right and the other bottom left so it wouldn’t make a difference

If there's a crash that involves fire no amount of flame retardant clothing is going to stop the metal jewellery heating up and causing burns. So from a safety PoV banning jewellery makes perfect sense.
so that includes wedding rings? because as Lewis said he only drives with his nose ring and ear ring.. so what about those who have wedding rings they should be taken off too?
Grosjean had the wedding ring and the ring didn't melt on his finger..to melt gold or silver you need over 1.000 C and at this temperatures you are dead with or without them...
Except they dont wear Jewellery in the car! It is removed!
If the driver stayed in the fire long enough for his jewelry to burn him he wouldn’t be alive the fire would’ve already burnt him
@@4nero686 Metal doesn't need to be anywhere near melting point to cause burns.
My comment was a general one regarding wearing jewellery and wasn't in anyway directed at any one particular.
driver
BTW, Grosjean suffered hand burns so unless he was wearing his wedding ring on his toes or some other appendage who's to say the ring didn't contribute to the burns. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't.
Lewis: "I couldn't have more jewellery on"...
Mr. T.: "You don't know what you're talking about kid"
Fooool!!!!
The most pathetic thing is he waited for laughter as if he had just delivered a punch line and everyone was silent 🤣
This is only no jewellery when in the car, for safety reasons, like if they need an MRI scan after a crash. Such a small thing for these drivers to do. The are in a very privileged position, they should be professional about it. Wear what you want outside the car, even though LH looks a bit silly wearing three watches and eight rings, to try and make a point about something that a true professional wouldn’t waste time on
Non ferrous precious metals like gold and silver are allowed in an MRI scanner FYI.
You know normal people have piercings before MRI too right? News flash, they take them off before the scan! Just like they'd do for a driver. Should they not wear clothes because the surgeons can't access their skin to operate? How will they do it?
@@FenomeSean 1:06
Which is pertinent? The global carbon footprint in F1 or a piece of jewellery a racer adorns?
It is ok to wear 3 wrist watches as long as you won't be late
I kind of agree in one way that it's probably aimed at Lewis, but in another if it's the same rules for everyone then he's not a victim here.
He just happens to be the one that wears more than anyone else, but it's not singling out one person if it's a rule for all
No it's not. New race directors are more strict, so for safety reasons is not a bad decision. Also im pretty sure this rules has been there for years
It just shows how F1 is going about everything completely wrong. Can we just keep the focus on the cars and the racing, and also not banning every clever innovation any team comes up with too? Supposed to be the pinnacle of Motorsport, yet they ban every innovation and are more bothered about drivers wearing jewellery. Ridiculous.
They only want them to stop wearing it when they're in the F1 car on the track. It is ridiculous that this is even a debate. You fools are making it look like they're controlling their lives.
Jewelry is innovation? 🤣🤣🤣 Simple, all drivers need to follow the safety rules. Period. 'No jewelry and watch in car'. Simple
It's a clever innovation unless its on a RBR car... then it's cheating, right?
100% right
Totally agree
Hamilton 2021: The rules should be obeyed
Hamilton 2022: The rules should not be obeyed
I’m amazed it isn’t a rule already. Don’t want to wrapped in metal when your car is on fire 🤦🏼♂️
It is. But they didn't make a fuss about it. Amd now there paying the price for that
Ban him will not be missed will be second driver in Merc this season proves car was biggest factor behind his success no one should be bigger than the sport
The FIA think Lewis is getting too big for his boots and there is much jealousy of his success in F1 this is why there has become a big story over the jewelry which in the grand scheme of things is nothing more than "silly".
I take it it's a slow news week if THIS is genuinely one of the big talking points of the weekend.
Thought for Lewis…looking like the main isle of a Claire’s Boutique won’t win races, focus on driving a bit, that may win some races. But I’m not a race driver. 😏
you're joking right?
@@Ran-he5ij no, I’m serious, I’m not a race driver. 😂🤣
Drivers may need an MRI, CAT scan or x rays before the helmet or race suit can be removed. They may require emergency surgery. Not racing in jewellery is not much to ask......
No one races with jewellery on pal. They are too strict about body weight etc etc. this is about paddock dress code
@@itsmeprasad1987 from what I understand they didn't entirely ban jewelry, it's just that they can't wear them when racing

To clarify is it only when they are in the car they cannot wear the jewellery??
yep
yes, lewis is saying it shouldnt matter since the only jewellery he wears in contained by the helmet so why should it matter so much when hes been doing it for years prior
@@cozmics1191 nobody wanted the Halo, but he has possibly saved many lives.
He should try wearing all this during a race and see if it helps solve the porpoising haha
FIA : No Jewelries
Lewis : "More Jewelries? Done"
Hamo never late with all them watches.
Just the 3 watches. It’s always good to know what time it is.
I wasn't allowed to wear armbands or rings at the ER when I had a not so bad injury at work. If something were to happen they CAN'T have rings/armbands that can stop the circulation.
Piercings and underwear seems a bit silly though.
Stylist: Which watch would you like to wear today?
Lewis: Yes.
I thought all jewellery was taken off for the race, for weight saving. Off the track who cares.
It’s off track and garage, Hamilton can change that before he goes into the garage.
Quick question why d u need two watches lol
The earrings are fine, their in his helmet, I don't think any driver would where a heavy watch or ring, that would be dumb.
There loads occupations where jewelry or synthetic fabrics are forbidden for compelling safety reasons.
Now safety is not a concern of Hamilton who's complaining about dangerous driving every other race when he's behind
Who’s this
What is the problem ? Why he can not take it off ??? And putt it on again if the race is finished
Buh bah Lewis.
Now we’ll see if the FIA has the cojones to stand up to hammy.
Why can't the FIA (and the media) openly and clearly explain that the measure is for the driver's own safety, in case of a crash and, for example, the need for an MRI scan? Metals need to be removed from the patient before the scan due to the strong magnetic field produced by the scanner. If the driver has something permanently attached to the body which would need to be searched and surgically removed, the delay in diagnosis could be life threatening. Lewis is probably not aware of this, so why is it so difficult for the FIA to clarify the reasons?? Geezus... it's such a small effort to cure ignorance.
It's titanium. MRI safe.
@@maneeshpathik5802 The doctors might not have time to find what metal the patient is wearing. Whether it's ferromagnetic, diamagnetic or paramagnetic.
They take off piercings of normal people before an MRI scan. How is this any different for a driver? Cut the rings off before scan, simple. FIA are doctors now? Should they not wear clothes so the surgeons can get access to their skin quickly?
@@FenomeSean It would be very strange if the FIA had been making these decisions without consultation with doctors. In fact it would be very strange if any of the safety-related measures were taken without consultation with experts in trauma and head injury. Question to the doctors/experts in the house: is there a legitimate medical reason to ban jewellery, given the risk that racing drivers face in their job? What are the situations where you foresee complications or increased risk for the health and life of the drivers, in case of a serious accident?
Completely agree.
There’s a logical reason re: MRI.
Why can’t Lewis just suck it up and do what everyone else has to do??
Talks about the FIA not following the rules and when they make a new rule he doesn’t follow it. Yea that makes total sense to me and is not hypocritical in any sense of the word. Calm down Lewis fans I’m calling it as I see it.
You are right. But which is important carbon release or wearing jewelry? Im no Lewis fan but there are more important issues in the sport compared to someone wearing jewelry.
I don't know... what about track safety? That seems to not matter as much as jewelry.
@@richwithoutard_ they taking there jobs serious and that's good! If its a rule its a rule that's it! Every little issue is important doesn't matter if its big or small. Its like he's in Kindergarten, follow the rules and you don't have a problem
One of the watches he was wearing was George’s (he said it in a later interview😂): Mercedes team level of pettines - yes.
I would think it’s impossible to make a list of everything you could wear (safe) vs everything you can’t wear (unsafe) so they did a complete ban. I can’t really argue against that accidents while doing 200mph and/or 20g maybe it’s better to not have a big rope gold chain around your neck at the time. Also that a small stud ear ring prob won’t be what kills you.
I mean Lewis dont wear a necklace when racing, he only wears the piercings wich, you Just cant take It out
@@mesterorange8181 Just cut them

"there's bigger fishes to fry." 😏👌🏾
The FIA says the following: The presence of jewellery can slow, due to the risk of "snagging", the emergency removal of driver safety equipment such as helmet, balaclava, and overalls." - Lewis you are a "Sir" of all things you should support good law and order even if its not according to your liking. In all aspects of life there are rules and I recon we need to obey them.
They can wear whatever they want in the paddock, but if they go into the vehicles with jewellery on, that's a huge safety concern.
I want Masi fired
I want to wear my precious jewelry
The tail wagging the dog
Hahaha the level of sarcasm when you have 3 watches
What’s the reasoning behind drivers not being allowed jewellery? Seems ridiculous, I’m no Lewis fan but I agree with him 100%
I think it's got something to do If they crash and they go for an MRI.
Basically it's in case that a second Grosjean accident happens And the fire stays long enough to heat the jewelry and melt on his body, and to be clear the rule isn't only about jewelry it's also about the fireproof underwear the drivers wear, so they said they want to make sure everyone is wearing them
3 watches? Thank you for giving me just another thing to shake my head at👍
Seems a bit like amping up the protest and controversy to divert attention away from the fact that he is WAY slower than Russell in the same car.
You are 100% right.
Yes but that is because you know....reasons
Does one of his watches show his positive time gap to Russell 😂. In that case maybe Lewis needs to wear it 🐢
🤣🤣🤣

What are those 3 watches for ?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this surely can't be a fashion.
People praise other drivers (Lando, Alex, Carlos etc) for having individual personalities, then those same people criticise Lewis for doing the same thing. And, we all know the reason why.
whats the reason? elaborate.
Don’t make this about Race. I’m the biggest Lewis fan and love his individual style. The FIA are trying to show that no one is bigger than the sport (and we all agree everyone but Max fans were on his side last year). It isn’t about Race, and racism can’t be solved when you want to make it the counter move of every argument!

So the fia say jewellery is possibly dangerous for drivers and he thinks he is above it..
And all over the world kids are being told not to wear jewellery to their sports clubs because it could be dangerous.
Well done Lewis that'll be alot of kids now wanting to break the rules ..
That's it really. The rules say no jewelry and I assume this is for various safety grounds. For 40 million a year - follow the rules!
So why was this never an issue before...?
He's had jewelry since McLaren...
Why single him out though...
He likes wearing jewelry, why should that phase you personally?
Get a life. Stop paying attention to what a man is wearing. Lewis is living rent free in the head of the haters...
3 watches? Dude.... I understand his point wearing jewelry is just something that doesn't affect
Let him sign a disclaimer, and if he has an accident and they can't get him in a MRI Scanner quick enough and he goes onto die, well it's his own fault, But if we're talking about setting an example to young F3 drivers, who are told to obey the rules, what are you going to end up with anarchy !!!!
It’s not like he won’t get food for a week..
They should have enforced this earlier. After years of him wearing his piercings it’s kind of too late to dig up this rule out of the book. We now need a precedent proving piercings are dangerous. If Hamilton wants to be that guy, then let him be.
I mean…if you crash at 180mph through a metal barrier, per se, I imagine you might end up ripping skin with those piercings.
They truly have nothing better to do
new management just correcting the errors of the past, which is part of their job.
No need for precedent, considering no jewelry polices is an already established safety protocol for the sports.

I agree with him for off circuit stuff. But I think in a the car, with a high G crash like Verstappens at Silverstone, the jewelry could provide more damage (I'm not a scientist or anything, just thoughts from common sense)
There are bigger things to worried about in F1.....
Yeah this is a very minor concern

It isnt even that hard.
It's not like he was going to die if he removed it.
Everyone has to put up with rules that don't make sense in everyday life. This is not a big deal. Lewis is looking for attention now that he is at the back of the grid behind his teammate.
Why does it matter, I'm actually curious
I think the FIA have a perfect and valid point when you look at the burns suffered by Niki Lauda and Romain Grosjean. Sorry Lewis you wouldn’t be saying it if it happened to you. I hated the Halo but look at what it’s saved
You sounds so primitive
I didn't realise that the burns suffered by Niki Lauda were caused by having an ear piercing.
Grosjean suffered burns because when he got out of the car he put his hands on the metal barrier ...
@DUMB that comment matches your username

This has always been part of the rules. Now that there is a new president that want to enforce the rules Hamilton just wants the FIA to ignore them? Why does he not want to follow the rules? He got away with it for so long already.
New President! lets talk about human rights , flogging and beheading! thats where your new president resides, or have you forgotten Saudi Arabia appauling human rights.
well that rule has been on the regulations for a while now, you should've consider that before choosing thas career dear Lewis.
it's been a rule in almost any racing category that you can't wear jewelry. Lewis hasn't listened to the rules for years, and is now being called on it. It isn't a step backwards, it's more like enforcing well stated rules that were in place before her even got the piercings.
How appropriate: Dutch centuries old expression: Even if a monkey wears a gold ring, it is and remains an ugly thing"
(= someone who dresses nicely does not become beautiful himself)!!!
I'm surprised with all the safety protocols in F1 that the drivers have been allowed to do it. I think is does pose a safety hazard in a high impact, earrings have sharp ends. Necklaces could cut or choke you. I've broken my wrist falling with a watch on. There's plenty of other sports where is it banned. You aren't in the car to make a fashion statement, you are there to be a professional driver. Lewis needs get over his ego, this isn't racism, it's a sensible rule that should of been enforced years ago. The halo got brought in with no recent incidents to force it, so this should be the same.
Totally agree if it is wearing jewellery during the race then I can understand that but after the race I can wear what i want
@@ejsplays3446 Yeah he can wear whatever he wants....outside of the car. You have to remove it to play most ball sports, you have to remove it for some medical procedures. There's reasons for this. This is just another case of Lewis thinking the rules shouldn't apply to him. No one else on the grid has an issue with this. And if you think a thin metal object implanted in your skin cant cause any issues under the right circumstances then there's probabably not much point going on with your argument. This rule has been there for a long time, many fans complained at the lack of rules being inforced last year....Lewis being the biggest one for obvious reasons. So, the FIA has decided to make sure all rules are now followed. People got what they wished, stop complaining!
@@ejsplays3446 FIA are not "creating" anything. This rule has existed for a long, long time. Also, it's about when he's in the car. They don't care about what he wears outside of it, but inside he needs to follow the rules.
Lewis should come back next time with Mr T level of neck chains! 😆😎
Now, I don’t believe this is not FIA personally targeting Lewis anymore. After so many years, they suddenly noticed piercings and elevated it to the main issue. I’d like to finally see FIA doing something good, because for now the only person doing good things for F1, its people and fans is Hamilton and sometimes Vettel. They are the only two speaking up about important stuff, fighting for more people from different backgrounds to feel welcome in the sport, pushing it all to see a better future. If not for Lewis, I would still be thinking F1 is for boring bigoted white dudes who doesn’t care about anything more than themselves. Please, FIA, just come to your senses already. 🙄
@ScarAngusArobieke your comment has nothing to do with the topic at hand. You sad lonely hater. Ps. He is not tax dodging. I don’t think you understand how it works
@ScarAngusArobiekeActually one of the main reasons lewis lives in Monico is for it's location. I belive Lewis also owns an appartment in London which he pays tax on and if you've come out from under your rock you'll be aware that he sold his private jet 5 years ago so I guess the jokes on you now.
@ScarAngusArobieke sounds like savvy and legal business model if you ask me. I love that’s the only thing you can try and “hammer” him for. Because it surely wont be his racing..😀👍🏿
@ScarAngusArobieke lots of them drivers live in monaco cuz there are a lot of races in europe.. and he aint the only guy evading tax lmaoo. Funny thing is you probably typing this from a phone made by a company with a fruit logo who does the same.. Come on man..
”boring bigoted white dudes”
I’m confused, is it no jewellery only in the car while racing or press conference etc too?
FIA: Rules for jewellery.
Lewis: "Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!"
It seems Lewis will stop at nothing to push the narrative that he is raging against the machine in a multi-billion dollar sport.
Drivers and fans are inconsistent about how consistent they want the rules. Such a silly argument. Who the hell can even see your damn jewellery in the cockpit? Just put ‘em on after the damn race.
