An unfortunate start to the Formula 1 season could go from bad to worse for Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton as he risks facing the FIA 's wrath over his jewellery.
Motorsport's governing body is enforcing its ban on drivers wearing jewellery in the cockpit more strictly. This includes rings, necklaces, watches, earrings and other accessories, with drivers facing fines of £42,000 if they fail to adhere to the rules, rising to £215,000 for repeat offenders, per The Telegraph.
However, it's understood point penalties could also rank among the punishments should drivers fail to fall in line. Such a setback could be a hammer blow for Hamilton in his search for a record-breaking eighth world championship, even if it already looks out of his grasp this season.
