Tjabo Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 With a slightly different crew on the podium, I was wondering if people recognized what watches Raikkonen and Kubica were wearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Raikkonen was wearing a TAG, because he's under a contract with them. I've seen him wearing the Formula model, but the one he had on today had the Aquaracer bracelet. Maybe it was some kind of new model? But it was a TAG without a doubt. Strange, because TAG has always been so closely connected with McLaren. Schumacher, Kimi's predecessor was under the contract with Omega. Kovalainen wore a TAG F1. Dunno about Kubica. How do I know? I've always been both watch & racing geek. PS: Brilliant race from the Iceman today. Enjoyed every minute of it... although the British homer ITV commentators saw nothing but Hamilton out there.

timbo Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 By-tor, you beat me to it! What i thought was most interesting tho was that im sure i saw members of the ferrari crew wearing Panerais. Infact one of the female members stuck out the most because it looked huge on her wrist (and from the quick glance i got she looked quite cute).

By-Tor Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ah well... those Ferrari grid girls were so pretty, I didn't notice their watches at all. Guess I'm not Geek enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see what Blundell was wearing, but in the past I noticed he had a Bentley 6.75... Edited March 23, 2008 by Importr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Did Kubica's have k2222's double-AR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjabo Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 You mean Robert was wearing quartz?!?!? He seems more raw than that. . . I've got to say that the new TAG looks pretty good on TV. I liked it better than I have in pictures. Think a GOOD rep will be forthcoming? I'm a little concerned that it might be a bit elaborate for a really good rep. My best reps have been the simplest watches, but I recognize that others have had luck even with Asia 7750s, where I on the other hand have not. But that's another thread! Hah hah. . .

Guest Sql_pl Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Kubica has his own Limited Edition Certina... With 7750. Not sure if he was wearing it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 i did not now they still used drivers in F1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 They do. They use a standard driver that has to last 2 race distances, or they lose 10 grid positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjabo Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 They do. They use a standard driver that has to last 2 race distances, or they lose 10 grid positions. Really though, between unchecked engine braking trying to spin the cars entering the corners, unchecked horsepower trying to spin the cars exiting the corners, and front suspensions and brake discs that just spontaneously disintegrate, they really do seem to be using drivers more this year than last! Yeah By-Tor, a beautiful race by Kimi. I just wish he wasn't at Ferrari, because he is the polar opposite of their cry-baby, "pot calling the kettle black" mentality. Where are Ross Brawn and Michael Schu when you need them? Anyway, I realize after I wrote that passage that there are probably more vehement Ferrari fans across the globe than any other team has, so I apologize if it was too inflamatory! It's just racing chatter, I swear! ! ! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidge007 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Looks like it may be a good season this year. Kimi was only so far out the front because he did not have the safety cars to bunch them all up as Hamilton did the weekend before. As far as I remember Kimi did not do one overtake. But hay its not the greatest of tracks, its a new track designed for TV. One good race and one procession so far... lets see how it goes... 18 races in all. Too much product placement for me, you see the drivers after the race put on the watch, the cap, the jacket so that their sponsers get on TV, not like the old days... get out of the car and get a pat on the back and a fag off the mechanics. Money ruins everything, but hay it makes better road cars for the likes of us!!! Just my $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjabo Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ummmm. . . Sql_pl, I just noticed how hot your avatar is. . . Gotta go take it out on the wife now! Hah hah. . . Thanks for the good discussion of watches and racing guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
