Lewis Hamilton could miss this weekend's Miami Grand Prix if he's ordered to remove his jewellery before racing.
In a dramatic development Hamilton, 37, has remained defiant in the face of the FIA's clampdown on drivers wearing watches, necklaces, earrings and other accessories when behind the wheel. And at Friday's drivers press conference, he seemed to make a belligerent point with his appearance.
The seven-time world champion, who has endured a tough start to the season, arrived sporting three watches, eight rings and four necklaces. And when asked about the possibility of boycotting the race weekend over the issue, he was anything but dismissive.
