Probably more SS Rolex at the Rolex hospitality than in your ADs

Beat me to it.

Also if you're really into F1 the F1 sub reddit is pretty good and really active. Just gotta cut through some of the garbage on there sometimes.

They've had a pretty large presence for a while now and have been the "official timekeeper" since 2012.

It's saturation level advertising by Rolex at F1 tracks.

They must spend a pretty penny on the licensing rights, I hate to think.

But Rolex is not the only watch company spending big.

Tag Heuer sponsors Red Bull and IWC sponsors Mercedes while Richard Mille sponsors McLaren. Hublot is there somewhere too.

Verstappen is making the racing a little interesting, but a lot of the races so far this season have been Mercedes processions.
