How much does Eddie Jordans watch weigh?

Actually, my question is what's the deal with the watches the drivers are handed before going onto the podium?

Are they thier own watches they're being given back as they can't wear them while driving? Are they handed out by sponsoirs? Is it part of the reward for getting on the podium, do other points scorers get them, do all drivers get one? Are they inscribed with anything? What? I have to know.

I've never even noticed. Didn't Jackie Stewart use to have one of his shirt sleeves altered to show off his Rolex?

sure its all to do with sponsorship, its always that weird guy who hands them out too.

I think it is there own watches back. I am sure most of them have "Watch" deals. as Omega seem to like Kimi on there adverts.

Massa wears his watch when driving. I think its a F1 sponsor gift (Tag Heuer) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Kinda like the Bridgestone hats.

I doubt it, there's rules against wearing anything like that while racing. No watches, chains, rings, earings etc.

He drove out with it on in qualifying, he pulled his sleeve down over it and put his gloves on.

The FIA does not say how the measures would be policed or what sanctions might apply.
