Lewis Hamilton will not be banned from Swiss roads.
Swiss road crash victims foundation RoadCross, backed by local politicians, called for the ban after Hamilton's girlfriend recently admitted in a celebrity magazine interview to sometimes driving with her knees.
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger also joked that the pair would be banned if it emerged how fast they had driven in Switzerland, where Hamilton rents an apartment.
RoadCross asked the local attorney general to revoke Hamilton's driving license, also because the McLaren driver - arrested in March for dangerous driving in Melbourne - crashed in Switzerland after running a stop sign last year.
A spokesman said: "Public figures should be conscious that they are role models and adopt exemplary driving behaviour."
Swiss politician Pius Segmuller told Blick newspaper that he supports the campaign.
"I think they (Hamilton and Scherzinger) show an absolute lack of character. With these statements, he is a bad role model for all the young people who idolise him."
But German-language reports reveal that Geneva authorities have closed the case against the 2008 world champion due to a lack of evidence.
