The rise of Formula One’s popularity continued to attract the stars Sunday for the sport’s most lavish race, the Monaco Grand Prix. The celebs attending the race watched Red Bull’s defending champion Max Verstappen start in pole position after Saturday’s qualifying. The Spider-Man actor was pictured chatting to Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner, whose driver Max Verstappen started in pole position. Verstappen called his first pole at Monaco ‘very lovely’ but there was nothing to cheer for his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez as last year’s race winner crashed early in qualifying. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was chasing a third straight pole on his home circuit but qualified in third, 0.106 behind Verstappen.
