Lewis Hamilton welcomed an FIA climbdown over wearing jewellery while racing as he prepared for a testing weekend on the streets of Monaco
Lewis Hamilton, preparing for what is always a testing weekend on the streets of Monaco, welcomed an FIA climbdown in a spat that is clearly becoming a tiresome distraction.
The seven-time world champion pointedly observed that the rule made little sense given that wedding rings and bracelets were permitted, and his stance was supported by other drivers.to allow him time to remove the jewellery but he made it clear he had no intention of backing down. The exemption ended before this weekend’s meeting in Monaco but has now been extended to cover this meeting, Azerbaijan and Canada and will conclude before the British Grand Prix on 3 July.
Hamilton was pleased to put the issue behind him as he directs his energy into maximising his Mercedes team’s efforts in Monaco. Mercedes have struggled at Monaco in the past but there is some optimism that this time their car will be better suited to the slower corners of the principality, although practice suggested they have work to do yet.
