Romain Grosjean called out the FIA over their "childish" jewellery stand-off with Lewis Hamilton and believes there are "too many rules" in Formula 1.
For many years, it has been written into law that F1 drivers are not allowed to wear jewellery while driving their cars. But while it was in the rulebook, it was one of those matters that was rarely, if ever, actually enforced.
But FIA president Mohammed ben Sulayem decided earlier this year that his federation would be clamping down on it. That led to a lengthy stand-off with Hamilton, who felt it was a ridiculous rule and even began turning up to media interviews wearing more jewellery than usual, just to make a point.
