F1 star Vettel finally makes it
Richard Aucock writes:
No F1 driver worth his salt can call himself a true great until he gets a watch with his name on it. Sebastian Vettel may have won a couple of races, may be billed by some as ‘the new Michael Schumacher’. But really, he’s just been a pretender. Until now.
Yes, Casio has launched a limited edition watch, with his name on it. The snappily-named EDIFICE EQW-M100-SV-1AER.
‘Show us yer EDIFICE EQW-M100-SV-1AER’, Lewis Hamilton may well be asking his old mate on the parade wagon this weekend in Monza. Seb, naturally, will oblige; take it off, hand it to Our Lewis, who’ll investigate it, turn it over, and note…
Yes, Vettel’s signature specially engraved into the back. ‘Resets to the right time six times a day from radio waves,’ Vettel will tell him. ‘Keeps time for 29 cities worldwide.’ Hmm, Hamilton might think. What sort of an advantage could that give him? I thus wonder as to the chances of seeing Hamilton in Stevenage’s H.Samuel some time soon, buying his own £350 Casio Vettel.
After all, Vettel is (groan) a rival to watch.
