- Race director Niels Wittich says he will enforce in-car ban
- Hamilton granted two-race exemption by the FIA for nose stud
Lewis Hamilton has backed down in his dispute with Formula One’s governing body over jewellery and will now race in Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.
Rules state drivers are not permitted to wear jewellery in the car for safety reasons. The regulation has not been rigidly enforced until this season when Niels Wittich, the new race director, informed drivers he would be clamping down and checking they were not wearing jewellery. Wittich is understood to be strongly backed in the move by the new FIA president, Mohammed ben Sulayem.
