Miami GP: Lewis Hamilton sends clear jewellery message to FIA

Lewis Hamilton used the latest press conference in the build up to the Miami Grand Prix to once again push the issues that are important to him.

In this instance, it was around the FIA’s tightening up on the ban relating to wearing jewellery whilst racing.

He went out to the press conference wearing three watches, eight rings, four necklaces and two earrings, which seems a little excessive, but his point was made.

Hamilton is first and foremost an F1 driver, but in addition he is a philanthropist and a champion of causes that are important to him, such as racism, the environment and human rights, whilst he has other interests outside the sport such as music and fashion.

He uses his wealth and profile to influence the public and other larger organisations, and he has been successful at this throughout his career.

Whilst not carrying the same weight as some of these issues, the jewellery ban is something that Hamilton has deemed important enough to push back against.
