Lewis Hamilton’s reaction to FIA jewellery-gate: “People love to have power…”

The F1 season began with new race director Niels Wittich clamping down on a pre-existing rule which prohibited the d🤡rivers from wearing jewellery on safety grounds🎀.
Hamilton initially offered resistance, saying: “I've had jewellery on for 16 years - so was was safety not an issuౠe back then?”
He arrived in Miami decorated in extra bling, including three watches, but eventually complied by 168澳洲5最新𝓡开奖结果:removing his nose-stud at Silverstone.
“People love to have power,” he said to Vanity Fair about the jewellery 🐼saga.
“And to enforce power.”
Asked if he felt personally targeted by the clampdown on this rule, Hamilton sai🌜d: “I meanඣ, yeah.
“Because I’m the only on💎e that has jewellerꩲy on, really.”
He explained wearing three l๊uxury watches in Miami: “I just put on as much as I could.”

Hamilton had previously teased about his body♊ piercings: “I can’t remove at least two of them. One, I can’t really explain where it is.”
He has now laughed: “I was just f****** with it.
🐈“I don’t have any other piercings anywhere. But I love that there’s this thinking: s***, has he got his balls pie꧟rced?”
Hꦉamilton concluded about the FIA’s s💫tance on jewellery: “Since I was a kid - rules…
“I’ve never loved being told what to do.”
Ha🎶milton had earlier explained the d𝓡ifficulty of Abu Dhabi 2021 - where he losജt a record eighth championship on the final lap of the final race, to Max Verstappen, after a controversial call from race director Michael Masi.
"My worst fears came alive," he said. "I was like, there’s no way they’re going to cheat m🥂e out of this. There’s no way. That won’t happen. Surely not.”
