Lewis Hamilton

"George stayed out a long time and we were betting on a safety car and that realised but it went against Lewis who lost a position," the Austrian told Sky Sports. "It's just a bit down. Fans in Miami were treated to another battle between Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, with the Dutchman coming out on top for the third time this season. The result opens up an even wider gap between Hamilton and Russell, with the newcomer sitting 23 points ahead in the Drivers' Championship after five race weekends. During the Safety Car period, Hamilton snapped at his team over the radio when asked whether he would like to pit. "That's what your job is [smiling]. Make the decision for me. A tense wheel-to-wheel battle with Hamilton saw the newbie come out on top, which was no surprise given his fresh medium compound tyres.

Before you adopt the position that Hamilton is being pointlessly stubborn about all of this, it’s worth reviewing and interrogating what precisely is motivating the FIA to suddenly emphasize enforcement of this rule, after at least 16 years of looking the other way. I do not detect any flashes of platinum anywhere on Hamilton’s lower legs, and it seems beyond consideration to suggest that he might have a welded-on piercing somewhere on his Achilles tendon. Because Hamilton said aloud the words “nipple-piercing” in his delightful back-and-forth with Verstappen, this suggested that the joke about “certain piercings” on his own body referred to an adornment of an even more private area of his person. This has set the stage for a scenario in which Hamilton shows up for the Monaco Grand Prix on the final weekend in May, is checked for piercings by some poor race steward in what will, for sure, be one of the most surreal moments of either of their racing careers, and is banned from participating in Formula One’s signature event. Hamilton quickly assured everyone that he was merely having a laugh, before pivoting to a shared joke with Max Verstappen about a secret nipple-piercing hidden under the Red Bull driver’s racing suit. A recent Formula One reinforcement of rules about jewelry has caused quite a rift between the sport’s rule makers and the greatest driver of this and possibly any other generation.

Formula 1 has arrived in the United States. In about 30 minutes, the Miami Grand Prix will be underway from South Florida.

Later in 2016, the reality television star was linked to Hamilton. She's gone on to date a number of prominent athletes, including Ben Simmons and Devin Booker. Hamilton and the pop star were reportedly together beginning in 2007 and the dating rumors persisted for about eight years. All eyes will be on Mercedes-Benz star Lewis Hamilton, arguably the most-famous driver in the history of the sport.

Then rule enforcement disallows jewelry and body piercings from being worn during F1 races, a decision that is said to be meant for safety reasons. Hamilton, ...

But it’s clear that he’s not in approval of this latest move by the Formula 1’s governing body. I’ve been in the sport for 16 years and I’ve been wearing jewelry for 16 years. In the car, I only ever have my earrings on and my nose ring, which I can’t even remove.

Mercedes driver qualified sixth for the inaugural race at Miami International Autodrome.

Defending champion Max Verstappen was third after making a slight mistake on his final flying lap. Hamilton will be hoping for more reasons to celebrate on Sunday in Miami. Earlier, Hamilton threatened to withdraw the Miami Grand Prix in response to the FIA's ban on piercings and jewellery.

Lewis Hamilton questioned Mercedes' strategy at the Miami Grand Prix after he was overtaken by team-mate George Russell in the closing stages.

To be fair, everyone was on the same strategy as him except his team-mate because he had a bad qualifying. "It was just a bit unfortunate on the safety car but at least we got points today. We are finishing and reliability is good. "But if you had told me after Friday we would finish P5 and P6 that far behind P1 I would have been disappointed so we have a fast race car in there we just don't have the key to unlock the performance. "That's what your job is, make the decision for me. You have all the details.

'He was fair and had fresh tyres so I was a bit of a sitting duck. Russell and Hamilton went wheel-to-wheel for the first time as Mercedes team-mates. But he did a great job to recover from his starting position.

Mercedes enjoyed a relatively successful weekend compared to some of their worst struggles of the season so far, when George Russell took fifth place and Lewis Hamilton sixth at the Miami Grand Prix in the United States on Sunday.

I liked that we were in Miami." I was pushing as hard as I could. "It was mixed feelings, based on yesterday it was a good result," Russell said, given he started from 12th.

'That's your job': Hamilton's salty rebuke exposes Merc chaos as 'breaking point' nears.

“I have total faith and confidence it’s in there somewhere, we just need to understand how to unlock it,” he said. It’s widely believed that Mercedes can be a regular winner this season if given enough time to solve its porpoising. “In that scenario, I have no clue where everyone is,” Hamilton said. “That’s what your job is, make the decision for me. “You tell me man (if we should pit), don’t leave it to me,” Hamilton snapped back. Toto sounds very frustrated.

Lewis Hamilton's row with the FIA dominated talk ahead of the Miami GP as the Mercedes star refused to comply with their jewellery ban.

The Mercedes star insisted he would not comply with the FIA’s rule after qualifying on Saturday, saying: “No, [I am not going to do it]. I got an exemption here and I will get exemptions for the rest of the year. “It's our bodies and you’re prepared to face the consequences if you want to do what you want to do.” He said: "We have the responsibility to go out there, put our life at risk and I do feel it should be a personal choice, but I respect the FIA and their will to always improve the safety. The four-time world champion wore his boxers over his overalls in the paddock this weekend in protest against the FIA’s attempts to force drivers to wear ones made out of anti-flammable material. Lewis Hamilton's row with the FIA dominated talk ahead of the Miami GP as the Mercedes star refused to comply with their jewellery ban. The Brit has been locked in a bitter standoff with the FIA across this weekend as they clamped down on rules regarding jewellery.

Race engineer Peter Bonnington asked the driver whether he wished to take on new tyres during a late safety car in Miami.

“He was fair and had fresh tyres so I was a bit of a sitting duck. But he did a great job to recover from his starting position. Russell and Hamilton went wheel-to-wheel for the first time as Mercedes team-mates.

Lewis Hamilton has conceded Mercedes have failed to improve their car over the opening five races of the season after he finished sixth at the Miami GP.

What is the good and what is the bad. “There is potential in the car and she is fast but we just don’t understand how to unlock the potential.” he said. “We have stayed committed to the current concept, we are faithful to the current concept, we are not looking at the lady next door to see if we like it more,” he said. Wolff admitted that even after five races mastering the car remained a dark art and one that he described in a clearly frustrated fashion. A challenge he is taking on the chin as a long season of a further 18 races lies ahead. Hamilton did enjoy an improved qualifying performance, taking sixth and he and teammate George Russell finished sixth and fifth respectively in the race.

The sports biggest star drew attention during the first Formula One races in Miami Gardens.

LEWIS HAMILTON came sixth in the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.

We thought he was going to have minor surgery to take out the nose rings because the FIA have decided to get tough, but have not decided to get tough on putting Tecpro barriers out on the other side of the circuit that destroyed the Alpine of Ocon and wrecked Sainz’s Ferrari and gave him a headache. If the FIA can scrutineer a driver, which it looks like they can do, the FIA could stop Lewis going out onto the pit line for Friday practice because he’s not been scrutineered in the same way a car is. The hole has closed up, it’s not as easy as him just being able to take it out like he can with earrings. Hamilton has said, ‘look, they can fine me whatever they want’. But it is not as simple as that. Hamilton is embroiled in a petty spat with the FIA over his piercings. He said on Sky Sports: “He’s taken his earrings out but he can’t take out his nose ring.

"I am so happy to be in Miami. This is the sport's first time here and the anticipation of this event has just skyrocketed." It's the first time Miami has hosted an F1 race as part of a 10-year deal, and the racing series is adding a Las Vegas night race to its schedule in 2023. I think this is going to be like our Super Bowl," Hamilton said. Getting public support from the likes of Jordan, Brady and Beckham, an Englishman who now co-owns the Inter Miami soccer club in MLS, provides a major boost to those efforts. The photo helps showcase the rapid growth of the sport's popularity in the United States, which has coincided closely with the smash-hit Netflix documentary Formula 1: Drive to Survive, a behind-the-scenes series that debuted in 2019. It would be difficult to capture more star power from the sports world than Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady did in a photo Sunday at the Miami Grand Prix.

I think, from talking to some folks at F1 and the FIA, there's an opportunity to maybe change that a little bit to make it better." It was a bit of a necessary evil, if you will, to get the track big enough to create the rest of the race track to be great. "We're open to changing whatever we need to to make the track better," Garfinkel explained. It's a corner that maybe in the future they can remove, and it will improve the track." But Hamilton could get his wish granted next year after Miami GP boss Tom Garfinkel revealed talks with the FIA and F1 to make positive changes. The seven-time world champion was particularly frustrated with the tightness of turn 14/15, comparing it to a 'B&Q car park'.
