The Race director, Niels Wittich notes ahead of the Miami Grand Prix stated “the wearing of jewellery underneath flame-resistant clothing “can reduce the protection afforded by this equipment. Metallic objects, such as jewellery, in contact with the skin can reduce heat transmission protection and thus may increase the risk of burn injuries in the event of a fire.”

The seven time world champion, Lewis Hamilton expressed his views on the matter saying “I don’t have any plans on removing them. I feel there are personal things. You should be able to be who you are.” He added that some of his piercing cannot be removed as they are welded in.
