The font look same to me. Only the spacing and width of the textbox make the difference

Is it safe for a Rolex to be part of the fence at an F1 race?

Will be taking a picture of the Spa Francorchamps Rolex branding to see if there is a difference. Running a half marathon on the famous circuit in two weeks, super excited!
Also looking forward to the new F1 season, last year was better than I initially expected.
