LONDON : Formula One is right to ban jewellery from the cockpit but the governing FIA could have enforced the rule in a less confrontational way, according to Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) chairman Alex Wurz.
Axed and disgraced former F1 race director Michael Masi could make a comeback.
Lewis Hamilton could risk being banned for the Monaco Grand Prix if he decides to keep wearing jewellery while in the cockpit. The seven-time world champion's two race exemption from the jewellery ban will run out in the principality and he could face huge ramifications if he does not conform to the FIA's wishes.
Formula 1 supremo Mohammed ben Sulayem has suggested there could be a route back into the sport for Michael Masi. Masi was axed by F1 in February following an investigation into his controversial handling of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December. Ad/> The Australian official took the decision to bypass the rulebook and allow only the lapped cars between race leader Lewis Hamilton and his title rival Max Verstappen to unlap themselves, to set up a final-lap shootout.
The former rally co-driver, who was elected along with new FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem last December, made the comment ahead of next month’s date conflict between the centrepiece round of World Endurance Championship and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.
