Lewis Hamilton can be fined for wearing jewellery

Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton can be fined wearing jewellery during the race.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has said that the seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton will be fined from competing in the Monaco Grand Prix if he fails to stop wearing jewellery during the race.

“That’s up to him. There are fines that apply,” Ben Sulayem was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.

“It’s like if someone speeds on the roads – you can’t stop them doing it but they get fined, even if it was accidental,” he said.

During the Miami race, Hamilton claimed it felt like a ‘step backward’ for the sport.

“It seems unnecessary to get into this. I am here to be an ally of the sport, we have bigger fish to fry,” he had said.
