Lewis Hamilton has registered one success before Sunday’s Grand Prix in Bahrain, he WILL be able to wear his nose stud during the race.
The seven-time world champion spent most of last season in a stand-off with the sport's governing body, the FIA, over their insistence that strict rules forbidding Formula One drivers to wear jewellery were enforced. For many of the 2022 races, 38-year-old Hamilton was forced to remove ALL his jewellery before taking his place on the starting grid.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the FIA president, was seen as the driving force behind the push to implement the long-standing, but often unused, rules.
