UPDATE at 5:45 pm: The FIA will not issue any sanctions regarding Lewis Hamilton’s failure to comply with the drivers’ sporting code. In this case, it was once again about wearing jewelry. Despite not officially being allowed, Hamilton continues to drive with his piercing.
The statement initially provided little information. Lewis Hamilton was summoned to the stewards at 2:45 pm for a breach of the sporting code for drivers, specifically relating to section L) III, which pertains to anything concerning the driver’s equipment.
Lewis Hamilton had sparked controversy at the beginning of the season for refusing to remove his “fixed” jewelry, such as his nose piercing. He deliberately exaggerated the situation by wearing all his watches and bracelets during interviews.
Paragraph L) III of the FIA Sporting Code discusses helmets, fireproof clothing, the HANS system, harnesses, and the wearing of jewelry.
