The FIA won’t launch any form of investigation into Lewis Hamilton for putting on a t-shirt in protest for the wrongful killing of one health worker, Breonna Taylor, at the Tuscan GP.
The Formula 1 governing body was considering whether the incident contravened its rules but a spokesman has come out to openly declare that an investigation had been ruled out.
Also, the FIA, having considered the matter on Monday to examine its rules says clarified guidelines will be issued to drivers about arrangements for pre and post-race activities, including what may and may not be worn.

Hamilton wore the t-shirt during Formula 1’s anti-racism ceremony before the race, when he took a knee, and also during his immediate post-race interview and on the podium.
The front of Hamilton’s shirt featured the words “Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor“, while the back contained her picture below the words, “Say her name.”
No measures were taken by stewards on the matter at Mugello on Sunday.
Taylor, an aspiring nurse, was shot and killed in her own home by three plain-clothes Louisville police officers in the United States in March.
Hamilton has shed light on issues of racial injustice and had previously worn a t-shirt with the message “Black Lives Matter” at F1’s pre-race ceremonies when the drivers have gathered at the front of the grid to show their support in the fight against racism.
