You never quite know who you will bump into in the middle of the Monaco Grand Prix. As I've mentioned the other evening it was Keke Rosberg with his wife and Jonathan Palmer, another former racing driver, introduced me to his son Jolyon. Look out for the yellow car in the GP2 race, he is the favorite. Sure enough this morning he ran away to a comfortable victory.
There were three yellow flags and some great accidents. Let me be clear. I am taking about the cars getting damaged and the drivers walking away. This being Monaco some of the tangles were slow and spectacular. The injuries were to the egos and the carbon fibre. Jolyon is tipped for a Formula One seat next year, on the evidence I've seen it makes sense. The rest of Friday is spent at various parties and receptions. All the sponsors are here from all over the world, this is one race wives are happy to attend as the glamour and the shopping opportunities are second to none. McLaren are having a bit of a tough time at the moment, not quick on the circuit and not quick in the sponsorship stakes. For years they've had major names such as Vodafone, no more. To add insult to injury this year their amazing huge motorhome which is like an entertainment center has been relegated. Ever since I can remember it was always Bernie's control complex first, McLaren second, Ferrari third and so on.
