·I think Rossi was wearing a 42mm Carrera during post-race interview today. If I recall correctly, he was wearing it during an interview at Indy, too.

·Aha, that's why he didn't look like the Rossi I was expecting.

·Alain Prost has long been associated with TAG Heuer, but I don't think I've ever seen a picture of him wearing a TAG watch during his racing years with McLaren. His racing suit sleeves are almost always covering his wrists in all the photos I've seen. It was hard to know if he was even wearing a watch and if so, what kind.
Finally, I was looking through an old book and spotted this pic. I believe he may be wearing a TAG Heuer Series 2000 ref. 974.013 or 974.006. Taken at the 1986 Brazilian GP, the first year that the McLaren MP4 cars would wear "TAG Heuer" on their windshields.
This same book had a picture of Stefan Johansson wearing a watch I can't ID in '87, his only year with McLaren. But I did notice that the McLaren crew member next to him was wearing the red Formula 1 ref. 385.513/85 (red strap). I had been under the impression that the red F1 became the McLaren team watch in '88 (& onwards) when Senna arrived. But it seems the team started to wear them a year earlier or maybe just some of them did.
Incidentally, Stefan now has his own "Stefan Johansson" brand of watches: https://www.watchonista.com/article...-f1-driver-turned-watchmaker-stefan-johansson

I like this one, with all signaling flags of the track marshals and race direction 😀

·In this interview, Prost says he wore TAG Heuer not only during his time with McLaren but also when he moved onto Ferrari and Williams.
But yet I've found it extremely difficult to positively ID Prost wearing TAG Heuer during his F1 career. Unlike Senna or Berger, who can be seen in countless photos wearing TAG Heuer.
In fact, the only time I've seen him wearing TAG Heuer (with 100% certainty) was when he re-signed as an Ambassador in 2011, such as this photo of him wearing the Monaco 24 Gulf.
However, in my search to find better pics of Prost wearing TAG Heuer, I found that the red Formula 1 watch was actually worn by McLaren crew members as early as the 1986 season. Pretty cool that McLaren adopted the TAG F1 as their team watch while the cars were powered by TAG, shortly after the watch's introduction.

·This old advert is why I had been under the impression that the red Formula 1 watch coincided with the Honda McLaren/Senna era. Plus I vividly remember seeing McLaren wearing it while I was engrossed with Senna vs. Prost.
But now I'm noticing more & more pics of it from '86 and '87. Glad to know it became the McLaren team watch immediately after its introduction to the market in '86. Actually perhaps even prior, since I don't think the red strap version of the 385.513 red case F1 was available in 1986 at first release. It doesn't show up in the TAG Heuer catalogues until '88.

·More pics of Prost wearing TAG Heuer in his post-F1 years.
But finding pics of him wearing TAG during his F1 career remains elusive!!! (Another reason I like his former McLaren team mates Senna & Lauda more than Prost. 😜)

·Breaking Bad's Walter White isn't the only one with a Monaco.
Tony Dalton, who plays Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul, wears one too!

Funny there's not one picture of him wearing his own TAG Heuer watch.

Red for Prost, yellow for Hamilton, blue for Button.

·Cool, I did really enjoy the original show. But is Better call Saul any good? I watched two episodes and gave up, was never much of a fan of the Saul character.

It’s absolutely fantastic. Having now seen it from start to finish I would say I think it’s even better than BB.
