Little anecdote lolilol before the start of the GP. Yesterday, Mercedes ate a fine of 25,000 euros for not having declared that Lewis Hamilton had disputed the qualifications with his nose piercing. Summoned by the FIA, the Briton will not be sanctioned since he had a doctor’s certificate. As a reminder, the authority decided to crack down this season by prohibiting drivers from driving with jewelry, which had the gift of annoying the seven-time world champion throughout the season.
“I’ve had this nose piercing for years,” said the current sixth in the world championship at a press conference. Since the beginning of the year, I have received exemptions until I find a solution. I tried to remove it, but got an infection from it. The doctors advised me to keep it. It’s crazy to have to talk about something so insignificant. »
