Sunday - Race Day
Started coffee and pastries enjoying the view from the deck of the flat Dawn and Keane had rented in Beausoleil – about 100 yards from Monaco.
We left around 11, parted ways and I walked over to get my ticket. I was worried about this but it was easiest process in the world. I then went roaming around the port part of town and had some lunch where I, of course, had some more rosé and chatted with a Brit enthusiast called Richard at lunch for about an hour and got to the stands just at the tail end of driver’s parade but a fair amount walked in front of us, including both Ferrari drivers. Lots of cool cars about town before and after race.
I was in the third row of section V which is just after Rascasse looking into entrance of pit lane and a small glimpse of the start of the main straight where we could see the DRS wing opening. I got a great video of Stroll’s tire flying off entering pit lane that I attached a screenshot of. I got home last night and I was actually on TV during the announcer lead up – which I expected, but I’m just a blob of a fan in the background. Keane actually got Carlos’ lockup on a really cool video. Snapshot also attached.
Great people in the stands…the Tifosi were of course super excited. Sat next to Kiwis and Americans…good convos, bucket list item for all. I am a Max fan – inviting hate here – but more of a Ferrari team fan, so I was satisfied. The emotion and feel of the town to have Charles win was completely electric.
More wine – including rosé and massive meal followed. Then a race up the pictured stairs!
