It's customary that when a champion receives his ring, their significant other receives a bracelet. The fans thought Pollex had been snubbed, only to find out, she actually received a diamond necklace.

Pollex shared the significance of the necklace on Twitter. She said the necklace has 36 diamonds in the outer ring that represent the 36 tracks, 16 stones on the inner circle to represent the championship drivers, and one diamond in the center to represent the champion.
