Lewis Hamilton v FIA in jewellery gate part 4, or it is now 5?
Lewis Hamilton and the FIA could once again be at loggerheads over the jewellery banLewis Hamilton and the FIA could once again be at loggerheads over the jewellery ban after Mercedes failed to confirm whether the driver had removed his piercings ahead of Friday’s practice in Bahrain.
As of last season all the teams have to submit self-scrutineering sheets to the FIA in which they have to clarify whether their drivers are adhering to the jewellery ban. While Hamilton initially vowed to buck the rule, the Briton appearing in a press conference with multiple watches and decked out in jewellery, he did eventually remove his piercings only for the nose one to return after an infection.
But it seems the back-and-forth could continue this year, starting as early as the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. “The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team has not confirmed for his driver Lewis Hamilton in the submitted self-scrutineering sheets that he is complying with the requirement to not wear any jewellery in the form of body piercing or metal neck chains or watches,” read the FIA scrutineering document.
