Hamilton wanted the rules tightening because of what happened last year in Abu Dabi - Now he doesn't like it! The rules are there for a reason, if he got badly injured because of wearing jewellery, he would say why wasn't the rule inforced??? This goes for the other drives too who don't like this rule!
The problem isn’t what they’re doing now, it’s what they haven’t been doing since 2005, if there is a rule, they have to enforce it from the beginning, otherwise it’s just pointless. I can see why the drivers are frustrated, because they have been getting away with breaking it all this time, but at the end of the day, the rules are the rules, and it’s what they signed up for. If banning jewelry is enough to stop them from racing in Formula 1, that’s their problem. I find it ironic that Hamilton is the one saying there are bigger issues to solve at the moment, when he is the one making this a bigger issue than it needs to be, but that’s just my 2 cents.
True, but you can’t tell the police you’ve been speeding since 2005 and never been caught before. Strictly speaking, the drivers shouldn’t have been wearing jewelry in the first place, they chose to do so, knowing they were breaking the rules, and that they could be enforced at some point. I’m very curious to see how this plays out. I somehow doubt Hamilton would give up his seat over a piece of jewelry, but would the FIA really give Hamilton a race ban for it, or a fine after every practice, qualifying and race? Will it escalate with repeat offenses? It’s very interesting.
@@LottieTalksF1 Then Hamilton has no valid argument. Just because it hasn’t been enforced before that doesn’t mean you don’t have to follow it. Good citizen followed the rules without the needs to enforced them. Lewis Hamilton is apparently, not one of those good citizen. He is setting a bad example for his supporters to follows.
Prince4851 Motorsport Podiums True, but even if that’s the case, my point still stands. He is the one making this a bigger issue than it needs to be. Personally, I don’t really understand the problem with racing in country X, Y or Z. The first priority should be to race in the best tracks for the sport. Just as the best drivers should get into F1, regardless of nationality, the same should apply to tracks in my opinion. To continue your Saudi example, Jeddah is an amazing circuit, and we witnessed a brilliant race there this year. I know it’s a lot more complicated than that, and we all like to think we know everything. At this point, I’d rather just sit back with a bucket of popcorn and see how this plays out.
When I worked as a mechanic having jewlery on your fingers and around your neck was a safety risk, cus its metal points that can get in contact with a battery and cause a short circuit trough the human body, this was for 12 volt batteries wich compared to a F1 cars hybrid that apparently run at about 1000 volts so it would be very fatal if the worse case scenario happens
12V can't penetrate the skin, but a rind could definitely short circuit through itself and get very hot because of that. Although I think it has more to do with just mechanical hazards like it getting stuck somewhere
@@LottieTalksF1 Whenever something happens, there is going to be a reaction. This is a delayed reaction to Romain Grosjean crash. It took a while for the investigation to finish and for the conclusions to be discussed. The result of the investigation was interesting. Many of the 'modern' safety measures worked as intended. Including the once controversial Halo and HANS. Other things need to be improved. I'm pretty sure that jewelry was discussed even though it didn't play a part in the Grosjean accident. I'm old enough to remember when nobody cared about the rules. Then Senna and Ratzenberger died, the first deadly accidents in the 'safe' era. And suddenly there was a strong push for more safety. The same thing happend after Massa's accident.
Drivers are not working on the cars and will not some close to any battery source. While driving I can see large items, chains and rings being banned but stud piercing shouldn't be an issue
@@s-pracing8514 Piercings have been banned since 2005. In part because they can interfere with removing the balaclava. This is not new regulation, it's enforcing the regulation that was already there.
It's a rule put in place for safety. Imagine a driver stuck in his cockpit and a fire breaks out. The presence of metal not only could lead to further injury, but may also hinder a medical team treating injuries. That's why the rule is there and drivers should obey it if they care about safety. They are the people young drivers look up to, after all. The fact it hasn't been enforced since its introduction in 2005 is a mistake, and one that is clearly being rectified at last.
Have you ever heard of anyone in formula 1 sustaining an injury or having a worse injury because they were wearing the prescribed jewelry? This is like some rule that's been on the books for 200 years and they haven't taken it off the books, but it's totally at all it's with the way society is. I have not seen any real evidence, that is something beyond the theory, that this is a significant risk in formula 1 driving. And by significant I don't mean big I mean meaningful risk. I get that the rule exists, but this is hardly the kind of thing to go to the mat over. It's getting blown out of proportion. After 16 years of non-enforcement to suddenly tell someone they have to take their extremely difficult to remove piercings out is a dumb way to run a business.
What about the underwear regulations? Oh my God the heat is so great it burned through my fireproof suit it's a really big concern that my nylon underwear might melt.
Well that's what you get when a rule gets neglected for a long time. The person that will try to enforce it will have a tough time, but I appreciate the fact that they finally do enforce the rules more consistently. And about the drivers complaining, there are many jobs where you aren't allowed to wear jewelry for safety reasons, a bit childish to make such a commotion around it
New directors. That's it, that's the reason. If Lewis wants to know why they haven't been enforced till now, call up Masi and ask him. It isn't the new directors' responsibility to know that, only to correct it (which is the approach all the teams called for after last year's debacle).
take it off for the race or don't race simple, Merc toto, Lewis wanted Masi out and to enforce the rules now Hes out but now the new directors are enforcing the rules cant have it both ways
Glad u are back. Hope the vacation was good. A lot of stuff happening right now in the F1 world. I have to remove my ring and chain at my workplace too. For safety and health reasons. But hey im just a normal person unlike the f1 primadonnas.
Hamilton should have all titles revoked due to breaking and blatant disregard for the rules. If you can’t follow a simple rule you shouldn’t get to compete.
Schumacher broke rules when he raced, as did Senna. I don't like Hamilton but that's really just the stupidest comment I've ever seen. Half of all the world titles ever won would likely have to be revoked because of one little thing that happen in a season if it was your way. It's racing, shit happens, deal with it
They can't really go back and change history because of it, but they CAN (And hopefully will) FAIL him at scrutineering for Monaco and not let him even enter the circuit. Everybody else who is required to comply with safety regulations has to do so, in all walks of life, what makes "Sir" so special?
maybe they sort out rocketattacks in S.A first ,before worrying about jewelry. this seems purely a game to show Lewis who is in charge after the Gala shennenigans ( wich was mostly Toto ) by the way
Storm in a teacup. Doesn't seem to be a rule about safety or anything that is relevant - it's rules for rule's sake. A race ban for not complying would be a joke.
Well, not really. If a driver has to take an emergency MRI he can't. They'll have to cut the jewelry first, potentially losing precious time. Secondly, all employers have a duty to their employees to protect their health, safety and welfare - regardless of their opinion on it. I mean, there are many jobs (from NBA player to surgeon) which require to remove all jewelry and F1 is one of them. If HAM's opinion is that bar on this is too high he can quit, because his job is to drive and the FIA's job is to set safety standards.
@@guidodistefano9220 emergency MRIs happen all the time. I have an MRI every 6 months. I also have metal screws in my body. If you’re having an MRI seconds are not so precious you can’t cut out a bit of jewellery first. It’s a specious argument that is so rare that it’s not likely to happen. There may be reasons for the rule, but the medical/safety one isn’t one that can’t be overcome. MAG doesn’t want to drive without his wedding ring either.
Is what you quoted the only rule that applies to jewelry. If it is, I don't understand why people are going on about people wearing wedding rings. This is specifically about piercings and chains. I assume there's another section that describes other kinds of jewelry.
Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes were complaining last year that the rules were enforced inconsistently and applied inconsistently. Therefore any rule needs to be enforced consistently that is what they asked for. Until they can remove that rule it has to be enforced
Between the wedding ring and crucifix, it's literally not any of the FIA's business, this is a power move for the sake of power, why it's even a rule in the first place is beyond me
@@mikejvevo3153 I have read it, it's not enough to justify *not* enforcing it this entire time and then sounding the alarm now, Ham is right, 16 years ?, you may as well have never put the rule in place in the first place if it was a new rule that would be different, but this is super retroactive edit: this is why they get called out as maFIA, only enforces rules when convenient " we race as one " is a joke
If a driver is injured during competition, they are covered by an insurance policy. Any sensible insurance company will ensure all possible safety rules are in place to prevent the possibility of a payout. So if "Sir" burns himself on his c*ck ring or nose ring, he can sue for damages. Frankly, I'm amazed this only came in in 2005, I was karting back in the 1990's and the jewellery rule was there back then
Seems like a lot of fuss over nothing really. Fires are really rare in F1 these days, and even if there was one it is out in seconds by the fire marshalls. If a driver is in a fire long enough for it to burn through their fireproof overalls, a ring getting hot would be the last of their problems.
@@timjohnun4297 I knew someone would bring that up. Grosjeans crash/racing gloves identified a weakness in the fire proof kit F1 drivers wear. That has now been addressed and the gloves are as resistant to fire as their overalls.

Why is it so difficult for FIA to make an agreement on safety and security sample clauses that guarantees them the right to race with jewelry at their own risk?
What does the safety equipment provided by the teams has to do with the drivers? To each their responsibility. Below their racing suit and helmet, maintaining their body is their liability. Otherwise, that decision sets precedent to weird security concerns, like banning athletes with prothesis.
@@BeCaffe Safety equipment protects drivers. Or you consider halo or helmet as decoration? Also, did you really compare earrings and nose rings to prothesis?

Its not like the FIA is asking him to removed his brain, which he and many of his supporters apparently did 🤷🏻♂️ Why even bother with the rules when you allowed exceptions to individual person?

I think it's a stupid rule. Metal jewelry under a balaklava, and helmet and multi-layer fire resistant racing coveralls is not really a danger. And, it's a personal choice. But, "rules is rules" as the saying goes. The lack of enforcement for the last years does not negate the rule. This is another example of the FIA selectively enforcing its own rules (see track limits, my pet peeve). But, the parties (Lewis, especially) have made such a big deal out of this that neither can change position without losing credibility and prestige. And Toto and MB would scream bloody murder if Sir Lewis were excluded from any race. So, change the effing rule!!!
Think about it for a second. The hybrid cars use massive amounts of electricity to help power the cars. What's the best conductors of electricity? Precious metals. Consider... FIA allows Lewis to wear his jewelry during a race weekend. Lewis has a minor shunt, one that is easily and normally walked away from. But yet, the benign accident created a severe electrical short and we instead watch the medical crew pull the lifeless body of a 7 time world champion from his car, electrocuted by way of his jewelry. So much for the whole idea of hybrid power plants. So much for the hubris of a driver who puts himself above the rules. So much for the FIA not following their own rules. Hybrid cars are dangerous, every bit as much as the hand grenades of the 70's and 80's with fire. Fire is self-declarative, you can see it, you can feel it, you can smell it, and you can hear it. Electricity is that snake in the grass waiting to bite you the minute you ignore it. This is petty and arrogant on Lewis' part and the FIA should be much much harsher in their handling of this matter. Senna died and we got side guards on the cockpit. Jules died and we have a halo. So who has to die before the FIA starts enforcing their already standing rules?
They are professionals They are expected to follow the protocols as part of their professional obligations through their own initiatives, with or without enforcement involve. They are being paid to do that. That is part of their job. Crazy how some habitual offender, whose act of non-compliance grew more and more blatant and ridiculous overtime, is now trying to turn the discussion the other way around by playing as a poor hapless victim of an authoritarian body, and his crazy cult is cheering him on.
Lottie you are a Goddess, beautiful and intelligent and thoughtful in all your videos 😊 it's a pleasure to listen to you about the sport. But why are the majority of F1 fans so terrible now ?

So much for the whole idea of hybrid power plants. So much for the hubris of a driver who puts himself above the rules. So much for the FIA not following their own rules. Hybrid cars are dangerous, every bit as much as the hand grenades of the 70's and 80's with fire. Fire is self-declarative, you can see it, you can feel it, you can smell it, and you can hear it. Electricity is that snake in the grass waiting to bite you the minute you ignore it. This is petty and arrogant on Lewis' part and the FIA should be much much harsher in their handling of this matter. Senna died and we got side guards on the cockpit. Jules died and we have a halo. So who has to die before the FIA starts enforcing their already standing rules?
Who here /sp/?
he needs to grow up F1 is more than he about time he gave it up let's face it it was the car
They are professionals
They are expected to follow the protocols as part of their professional obligations through their own initiatives, with or without enforcement involve.
They are being paid to do that. That is part of their job.
Crazy how some habitual offender, whose act of non-compliance grew more and more blatant and ridiculous overtime,
is now trying to turn the discussion the other way around by playing as a poor hapless victim of an authoritarian body, and his crazy cult is cheering him on.
F1 is a joke. Nonsense rules
Hamilton is facing his last times here in Formula 1 honestly. Max is the new face
Interesting take!
Lottie you are a Goddess, beautiful and intelligent and thoughtful in all your videos 😊 it's a pleasure to listen to you about the sport. But why are the majority of F1 fans so terrible now ? They disrespectful to the drivers they don't like and all talk like they have a super license because they play sim 🏎 😂
