Earlier this season it was also reported that F1 were set to drop Rolex as their official timepiece of the series, after an 11-year partnership.

LVMH includes luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Moët & Chandon, in addition to Tag Heuer, who are already a major sponsor of the Red Bull F1 team and have now been tipped to take over as F1’s official timekeeper under the agreement.

If Rolex are dropped by F1, this will leave a perfect opening for the Swiss watch manufacturer to become the series’ official timepiece from 2025 onwards.
