I am not a formula one driver but if i got pole on that track, even i would be able to win especially if there were no pit stops needed, its a joke of track actually!!!

You are becoming a bit of a celebrity yourself, Kym, and I understand why; you are just a nice, genius guy. If you watched the ceremony last week, for example, you also see him live on TV taking pictures straight into Max's face after his win, so he knows how to get to the front row as well. I think he stood in between Max's manager and Marko

[@uriahheep8470]

Too busy to get to Monaco. Watching the race on my iPad, while sitting on my couch. Just outside Austin, Texas.

Charles for the win, it is his time. What a great upbeat video Kym, looking forward to seeing your videos and pics from the race. I could actually afford to be there, but my overall health prevents that. Sad but true, but between your wonderful work and F1TV Pro I will have a good experience of the race. Wishing you and Jayce all the best.

[@CallieMasters5000]

Ricciardo and others live in Fontvieille, where the stadium and big Carrefour is located, and this is a less expensive part of Monaco (all on reclaimed land built in the 1980s). LeClerc lives up in the Exotic Gardens neighborhood. Nico Rosberg and other top celebrities live in the building on the beach next to the LeMeridian hotel on Avenue Princess Grace. I heard Verstappen is buying a place on the new MareTerra development being built on reclaimed land at Anse du Portier by the Japanese Garden.

[@touchofgrey5372]

I had the distinct and rare pleasure of receiving an unsolicited email from HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, back on Jun 28, 2021, 9:27 PM. In it he just told me that he does a lot of charity work and that it is important to donate to the less fortunate and also that he has been doing this kind of work since he was 16 years old. I did reply to his email but - as I have later found out - all the incoming emails are screened by a lady and obviously did not find my reply worthy enough to pass it on to His Serene Highness. So, that is my story of Monaco!

Surprised Carlos is in advanced talks with Williams when he has an offer on the table from Audi. Surely Audi is the better project long term, and in the short term I don’t see much difference in performance levels between Williams and Sauber. I’d understand if he was looking to take a short term deal with a better team like RB or Merc (if offered), but Williams doesn’t make sense to me in light of the Audi offer.

He really has lost his Mojo. as a fan of Dan, it’s really sad to say but he is clearly out of his depth now it’s time for him to move on so let’s get on the Oscar bandwagon as Aussies and he is now on the front row of the grid praying for a great start
