Surprising that the Swiss F1 team has no watch sponsor.

The relationship between TAG Heuer and McLaren can be explained by the role of Mansour Ojjeh (who recently died) with Mclaren. He was a major stakeholder in McLaren and was from the founding family of the brand TAG. TAG sold off the TAG Heuer brand some time ago, since then no TAG Heuer branding is seen on McLarens.

Funny thing about the gloves ... they're right twice a day!

Kym your videos are always so well put together and very informational. Thanks again for all the effort you put into your channel. Great content!

Kimi is the man... Drives F1 cars as a hobby and has his own signature Richard Milles watch.

Great work as always Kym!

We always find it funny to watch the F1 drivers scratch their faces every time they have an interview to show off their watch.

Really enjoyable video. I'm a huge F1 fan and also a wristwatch enthusiast. It's incredible how Richard Mille has really taken over the F1 world. Another F1-related person who wears RM is Martin Brundle. They get even more exposure when he's on camera on Sky.

Gio is wearing a Whoop. Activity tracker that is big in a lot of sports

Gio's blue "watch" is a WHOOP Strap. Pretty intense fitness tracker. I have one of those. Probably one of the few things that F1 drivers have that I have and can afford!

Other drivers: get a sponsor for watch Kimi: has a one off Kimi edition worth a mil

Aston Martin too has a watch face on the gloves. And Girard perregaux's logo on rear view mirrors and also on the fireproof underwear.

Yes there is a Girard-Perregaux logo ("GP") on the left arm of Aston Martin drivers' suits, which are the logos of Ravenol, Pirelli, Replay, GP and NetApp.

I've been waiting over 3 years for a Rolex Daytona for over 3 years. In the meantime I've added a Tudor blue Pelagos and a GMT II Batgirl (I like the jubilee bracelet better than the oyster). May add an Explorer II if the anniversary model is released and it looks good. All of these are great investments. A Daytona is $13500 from an AD but now demanding $37K in the aftermarket. Some people prefer not to wait.

I tried on a Rolex Daytona in 2012. Just wasn't my thing and I think they are very, very overhyped. Paul Newmans ghost doesn't help with keeping the prices controlled. I opted for a 50th anniversary Sea-dweller - from an AD - in the end in March of this year. I too bought the blue Pelagos for more of a everyday vibe.

Lando needs a new one apparently

Giovinazzi has an Whoop fitness strap which is made only in USA and distributed in a couple of selected countries in Europe.

My favourite topic, finally :D Sunglasses would be cool also, as some teams have new deals such Haas now using Maui Jim!

Kym, thanks for the video. If you don't already know, you might be interested in researching Jack Heuer's original involvement in racing and F1 in particular. As I remember he would give away free Heuer watches to drivers if they wear his watches. This was long before TAG's involvement and purchase of Heuer. I join your other fans in congratulating you on the Rolex.

I am assuming Lando's muggers really liked Richard Mille watches.

I think Lando at least was given his watch in general rather than just for press stuff since he sadly got mugged for it at the Euro 2020 final.

Oh man that Max picture at 9:27 hahaha

IWC were the first to do the glove thing, someone very clever in their marketing department!

Kym, nice grab on the Daytona. That's a really classy watch. I own an eclectic assortment of watches. My grandfather's gold Longines he bought when he made enough money after being a refugee from after the 2nd WW.

I have had a TAG F1 Chrono for several years, Orange face. Very few must have been sold because never seen another one anywhere. Love it, and the orange face is a classic, perfect orange, and gets comments when people notice it. Around $1,200 US. My only piece of jewelry/watch after my wedding ring. I don’t baby it - I wear it to work, grabbing stuff at the lumber yard, or just out. Tells the time and that’s what it’s for. Perfect.
