Hamilton has been a vo🐓cal critic of the FIA ruling that drivers should🌜 not wear jewellery, and currently has an exemption for his nose rings during the Spanish Grand Prix.

Marko, who has butted heads with Hamilton this season already over a jibe abou𒈔t retiring, has now surprisingly leapt to his defence.

“I think they have gone too far💙,” Marko told ജRTL about the FIA ruling.

“This should be a personal decꩵision of the drivers. I don’t remember how long Hamilton has been in F1, but he’s been wearing this jewellery all these years.

“So why did they suddenly decide to invent 🍌this topic? I think we have enough other things to worry about. We must accept and respect the individuality of each driv♛er.

“Do I side with Hamilton? Yes I do, and this is my honesꦿt opinion.”

Hamilton said about the saga ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix: “What I am aware of, is that those who are married are able to wear their wedding rings. So y🍨eah…”

George Russell then joked: “You just nee𝓰d t𝐆o get married then,” to which Hamilton replied: “No, you first bro!”

Hamilton backed by F1 rival Marko

Red Bull consultant Marko had jibed at Hamilton earlier this season by suggesting that he might have retired after𝄹 the notorious 2021 Abu Dhabi season finale, where Max Verstappen won his controversial first title.

Marko made the c♈omments aft🅺er Verstappen lapped Hamilton at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

“I mean he was lapped by us… so, maybe he should have stop⭕ped last year, he is thinking, ma⛄ybe,” Marko had mocked.

Hamilton h😼🦩it back: “Working on my masterpiece, I’ll be the one to decide when it’s finished.”
