Hamilton has for the moment also ended his long-running stand-off with the FIA over removing his piercings while driving. Since April the FIA’s strict enforcement of its rule banning drivers from wearing jewellery in the car has been at odds with Hamilton, who has said he would not remove his nose stud.
The issue has been put on hold twice since then under medical exemptions and Hamilton could have faced a potential ban from racing had it not been resolved but the FIA has now confirmed Hamilton has removed the piercing for practice at the British Grand Prix.
They tended not to boast about what they'd do before caving in like a sulky toddler promised an extra helping of ice cream before doing what they were told to in the first place, too...

It is a bit of a bizarre rule, yes, but...it is a rule. And he should be bound by it.
