Mercedes were slapped with a £21,900 fine after failing to declare a nose stud worn by Lewis Hamilton.
In the latest chapter in the saga between F1 and the seven-time world world champion’s jewellery, the Silver Arrows missed an update stating the 37-year-old produced a medical report in which he had been advised not to remove his nose stud.
Hamilton had been taking his stud out before each session, but the driver was summoned to the stewards after arriving at the Singapore GP with his stud still on show this weekend. The FIA have confirmed that deputy medical delegate, Dr Ian Roberts, reviewed and concurred with Hamilton’s medical records, but the team had failed to declare it, which resulted in a fine.
