I've never been a fan of Rolex watches - you walk into a store and they won't sell you one, as if they are Ferrari, but meanwhile every finance bro has a divemaster on his wrist. (Is that drama enough for the Rolex fanboys?)

(In my snooty voice) First of all, there is no “dive master” in the Rolex lineup. Submariner, Sea Dweller or Deep Sea are the commonly referred to dive tool watches in their lineup. Perhaps you were thinking of the Sea Master, which is an Omega. 😂 Yes, it is very Ferrari dealership in that regard but as Ferris Bueller once said, “It’s so choice, if you have the means, you really should pick one up.” 😂

Second, Rolex pulled out of sponsorship in F1 several months ago and Tag was announced shortly thereafter as the replacement.

Ferrari champagne is out as well and LVMH Moet & Chandon will replace it on the podium. LVMH owned Dom Perignon would not have been appropriate to have sprayed and wasted in such fashion. 😀

I guess I forgot about the announcement and Bloomberg announced it like it was breaking news this morning. It is one of the rare news programs that takes notice of F1.

I have several TAGs and they have always been associated with racing. I have several Heuer vintage stop watches including one that I am mounting on the steering wheel of my air-cooled.

I’ll just leave these right here and you make up your mind as to whom is causing friction at the team.

I wouldn’t put any credo into PlanetF1. They’re all about clickbait and getting views. Not much substance or fact.

Perhaps, but Jos has a long history that he cannot escape and this is his type of tom****ery. Ironically enough, I just saw this today and was surprised that a contemporary who has not dog in the fight would mention this.

It appears that I have set my daughter up for failure by being a loving and supportive father.

Not for me, but sometimes hard to argue with the results of raising certain boys with Spartan mindset. Does he beat Lewis in '21 without it?

I note Jos is still around. Max requires nothing of him now.

Who gives a f*ck about Jos Verstappen or what he says? I don’t understand why he’s involved or why anyone cares about his opinions on anything. He should be ignored. I don’t understand why he has any kind of a platform to express his opinions on anything.

simple. the media, all media, thrives on drama. it's their driving force. we should really be blaming the media for jos' relevance.

And Max. All of this with tacit approval from Max, including the friction between RB factions.

And to say Jos has no influence over little Maxi...
Same type of dysfunctional relationship where an abused woman won't leave her attacker.
