A nose-in for Lewis Hamilton

Rudolf is already in the starting blocks. It will soon be back in use, which cannot be overlooked, as some hardware stores already have Christmas decorations on offer. And Rudolf, the reindeer with his red nose, has of course already found his place there. In 1949 he got his first taste of Christmas from a coloring book and since then, in numerous interpretations by many famous singers, it has become an integral part of the emotional carpet of sound that accompanies us while shopping for weeks and sometimes gets on our nerves.

We still like him and his red nose, which brings us to what is currently almost the most important topic in the world of sport: It's about the nose of Hamilton, the racing driver in Formula 1, who not so long ago always had it neat in the wind when it came to outrunning the competition with his car. At the moment he seems a bit confused about this. Now he hardly wins anymore. His opponents are more than a step ahead of him, although the Brit is not equipped with a prime example of the important olfactory organ like Mike Krüger or Thomas Gottschalk, who even marketed their noses vigorously with the film “The Supernoses”, which was released almost ago appealed to an audience of millions over 40 years. By the way, it was the second part of the Supernose series. No joke. Lucky for Krüger and Gottschalk The two protagonists of this film comedy had the luck of being born at the right time on their side, because in the early Byzantine Empire (around 400 AD to 1500 AD) one could be excluded from the imperial dignity by having one's nose cut off . In Mimizuka, a hill in Japan, tens of thousands of cut noses were buried as trophies from the Imjin War. Krüger and Gottschalk have once again escaped with a black eye and Lewis Hamilton will also be able to keep his gold piece, even if it is the stumbling block to an important nose rule in Formula 1.

Because it says there that it is forbidden to wear nose jewelry in the cockpit. Piercing is called in modern German and is pretty much in vogue at the moment, as are tattoos or flashing earrings. And this is important not only to the beautiful femininity, but also to fast men like Hamilton, who likes to be hung like a Christmas tree. Now, of course, an accident has happened to him, luckily without any damage to the bodywork and he had no idea or smell of the reaction. During official training he drove with a small diamond in his left nostril. This would of course result in extreme injuries in the event of an accident, which is why the nose guards of the racing circus immediately took action. They condemned Lewis Hamilton. Fortunately, as I said, we are no longer in the Byzantine Empire but have evolved, although it doesn't necessarily seem that way at the moment. Fine for nose diamonds In any case, the Brit was able to breathe a sigh of relief and continue to breathe deeply from now on. He still has his well-shaped nose, but he had to sneeze heavily once, and so did his Mercedes racing team, which had to pay a fine of 25.000 euros because an inaccurate nose form was submitted to the FIA, the world motorsport association, for self-inspection. Mercedes fell clean on its face and got a bloody one in the process, which is fitting for the season in general, as they have had more than just a blow in the nose so far. Hamilton has now bought a small silver screwdriver and Mercedes has a special and very sensitive mechanic at his side and whenever the helmet has to be put on his head, the brilliant is professionally removed beforehand. Then only the light of the safety car flashes, which is always a step ahead, before it signals clear travel for everyone again. Just follow your nose.

A nose-in for Lewis Hamilton

Apparently Formula 1 has no problems at the moment, which is why people were able to focus extensively on Lewis Hamilton's nose jewelry. Our columnist Sigi Heinrich has therefore dedicated a detailed chapter to the nose in general and that of the Formula 1 driver.
