Racecar drivers notice Speedmasters

I attended the IndyCar race at COTA last weekend, and went through the Friday driver autograph line for a Brazilian exchange student I took to the race on Sunday. I got homies Kanaan and Leist's, then chatted with Max Chilton a bit. He drove a couple of seasons in F-1, and is now racing stateside. He pointed and asked me if my watch was a Speedmaster, and I replied "yes - it's also the Moowatch." He said "I really like that."

I think it's cool that at just another boring autograph session, a pro driver was observant enough to notice that and say something nice.

Cool story,
Too bad he didn’t shine in F1.

It turns out that he's a bit of a WIS himself. He is sponsored by Armin Strong. https://www.hautetime.com/max-chilto...-london/48663/
