McLaren team prinicpal Andreas Seidl has spoken against Hamilton's unyielding attitude towards wearing jewlery. Despite a ban on jewelry, Lewis has refused to take off his nose ring during the races. That is why Andreas said that no one should be let off the hook as the rules are for the reason. Apart from him, GDPA president Alex Wurz also said that Hamilton should follow the rules.

It's a rule that has been in place for I don't know how many years and if you've worked in other categories, it's not even discussed," he told Motorsport-Total. If you don't like to take off your jewellery or if you don't want to put on your fireproof pants, you just don't drive, it's quite simple and straightforward. "It depends on Lewis, there are fines that apply. It's like if someone is speeding on the roads, you can't stop them from doing it, but they are fined, even if it was accidental. You can't let people off the hook just because they are your friends, there has to be a rule for everyone.
