Teams, including iconic names like Ferrari and Mercedes, design and build specialized cars, pushing engineering boundaries for speed and aerodynamics. F1’s appeal lies not only in speed but also in strategic pit stops, tire management, and split-second decisions that determine success. The championship season consists of multiple Grand Prix events, culminating in a prestigious finale.

Why watch brands sponsor F1 teams

.

The sport’s global fanbase eagerly follows the drama, triumphs, and rivalries unfolding on the track. With legendary drivers like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, and the contemporary prowess of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, F1 continues to captivate audiences with its fusion of technology, skill, and thrilling competition, solidifying its status as the epitome of elite motor racing.

For that reason it makes sense watch makers want to be part of this. Victory’s can also be claimed as theirs (a bit) and the heroic status of the drivers wearing your watch brand is pure marketing.
