Lewis Hamilton has remained defiant in the face of the FIA clampdown on drivers wearing jewellery.
The issue has been vociferously debated in the past month, with Hamilton clashing with F1 bosses at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix. After being warned that the rule was going to be enforced strongly, he turned up for his Thursday media duties sporting multiple watches, rings, and piercings.
He also said he would be prepared to boycott the race if organisers continued to insist upon the measures. Eventually, he reached an agreement to officials, taking off his earrings to compete whilst being given a two-race exemption for his nose studs.
