FORMULA ONE heads to Monaco this weekend but there is a distinct feeling this once jewel-in-the-crown event has lost some of its lustre. It has become quite clear that Liberty are now earmarking new races for those corporate jollies. Monaco’s situation becomes even more precarious when you consider they do not pay any fees to F1 for the rights to host a race. But why did they allow Williams to borrow him just before the Monaco GP?. If Hamilton cannot race in Monaco, then surely De Vries, who lives in the principality, will get the nod to replace him. Luckily, the McLaren driver now lives there, so he will get some extra time in bed and should be fine to race at the weekend.
