Lewis Hamilton faces being prevented from racing at this weekend’s British Grand Prix over the FIA’s hardline stance on drivers wearing jewellery when behind the wheel, according to reports. The 37-year-old is known for regularly sporting a nose stud and earrings during races and has taken exception to the FIA’s decision to enforce their firm view on the matter over the course of this season.
Hamilton was made to remove his earrings at the Miami Grand Prix earlier this year but claimed that he was unable to take out his nose stud due to the hole having closed up to the extent that it was impossible to do so. The FIA gave him a deadline to resolve the issue which is set to expire on Thursday, meaning that he could be sensationally banned from competing at Silverstone if he does not comply, according to The Independent.
