Lewis Hamilton has been told the F1 jewellery ban for drivers is being imposed for the "right reasons" as the fallout over the ruling continues.
The clampdown was announced by FIA bosses ahead of this month's Miami Grand Prix, with Hamilton initially defiant. The seven-time world champion turned up to his Thursday media duties sporting three watches, eight rings and four necklaces.
He even threatened to boycott the race if officials ordered him to remove the items before competing, saying: "We have a spare driver. There's lots to do in the city, I'll be good either way." However, the British driver then retracted his stance, and agreed to compromise by removing his ear piercings.
