Lewis Hamilton to remove ear piercings for Miami Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton has bowed to pressure from Formula One’s governing body by removing his ear piercings for the Miami Grand Prix.
Hamilton arrived for Friday’s official press conference wearing a ring on every finger, a series of necklaces, a bracelet, earrings in both lobes and three watches – two on his left wrist and one on his right – in a clear show of defiance against the FIA’s jewellery ban.
The seven-time world champion also indicated he would even be prepared to withdraw from Sunday’s race in protest.
