At the time it was soldered in so it didn\u2019t come loose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey gave me at the time, for many races\u2026 an exemption until I could find a solution. Then I went and got it taken out. It got infected because of that\u2026 and I had a blood blister.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I went back and had to have the blood blister fixed because there was pus and blood and stuff and then I put this in and the last two weeks it\u2019s started to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton said he had a letter from his doctors which backed up his explanation.<\/p>\n<p>The sport\u2019s deputy medical delegate Ian Roberts had seen the medical report and accepted it, the stewards said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of the extenuating circumstances, we have determined to take no further action,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes, however, were fined 25,000 euros for incorrectly declaring that Hamilton had been in compliance with the jewellery ban in a self-scrutineering form.<\/p>\n<p>The ban on wearing jewellery during a race is for safety reasons and is set out in the FIA\u2019s International Sporting Code.<\/p>\n<p>While not new, it has not been rigorously enforced until this season.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton went into Saturday\u2019s qualifying while still under investigation for his nose stud.<\/p>\n<p>The Briton was in contention for his first pole position of the season all session long but ultimately missed out by just 0.054 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>He will start third on Sunday, the first time the record 103-times pole-sitter has qualified in the top three this year.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Abhishek Takle; editing by Clare Fallon)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/motor-racing-hamilton-let-off\/attachment\/singapore-grand-prix-6\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI901DT-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI901DT-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Abhishek Takle SINGAPORE (Reuters) \u2013 Seven-times Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton was let off by stewards at the Singapore Grand Prix for driving while wearing his nose stud after<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1668007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sports\/motor-racing-hamilton-let-off\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=motor-racing-hamilton-let-off","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1668007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1668007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1668007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1668007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
