There are a handful of things that get the adrenaline pumping and undoubtedly the countdown to the start of a Formula 1 race is one of them. Watching the five red lights engage and then hearing the familiar call of “it’s lights out, and away we go!” makes for an exciting start to Sunday mornings. With the Formula 1 season well underway, there is no denying that glitz, glamour, and opulence are prevalent in the world of moto sport. This month we take a closer look at which timepieces adorn the wrists of some of our favorite drivers.
Max Verstappen: The current World Champion and number one Red Bull driver is well known to be a fan of Tag Huer timepieces. Seen wearing both the Carrera and the Formula 1 timepiece (appropriately enough) when you are number one in the world in your sport, it is no wonder high-end companies want to be aligned with you. When you are an icon in the world of motorsport, an iconic timepiece such as the Tag Huer is a superb partnership.
Lewis Hamilton: The seven-time World Champion, a legend on the circuit and a fashion icon is sure to be seen wearing a timepiece that matches his level of swagger. When not in the driver’s seat Hamilton has been spotted sporting the IWC Big Pilot watch. Known for his fits that can be both bold, and muted, IWC offers the functionality as well as the fashionability that suits Hamilton’s presence both on and off the grid.
Pierre Gasly: Racing for Alpha Tauri, Red Bull’s sister team, Gasly is the young, French driver who has been gaining traction on the F1 circuit over the last couple of years. While he may not be consistent in qualifying yet, there is no denying his sense of fashion. With no horological sponsor tied to the team, Gasly is free to showcase exactly what he loves. A fan of Hublot, while walking the paddock he is regularly seen donning the Big Bang, customized to show his own love for a pop of color.
Rolex: It would be remiss to not include the F1 title sponsor and global partner, Rolex. The brand has been aligned with Formula 1 since 2013, solidifying its close ties with moto racing, speed, and cutting-edge technology. Regardless of the city, or the track, the iconic green Rolex logo can be seen peppering the circuit and is the last thing drivers see before lights out.
