Monaco Race Day Diary
Its race day in Monaco. The weather has been fantastic all weekend and its perfect again for the Grand Prix.
The most affordable place to watch from is the Rocks area looking down on the Nogues corner which leads onto the pit straight. Its 70 to sit up there, but you are sitting on rocks.
The teams want to find a solution as much as everyone else, but they are frustrated that the discussion isnt about how they turn F1 from a £2 billion a year turnover industry into a £5 billion industry. There is a story going round that Williams are planning to make an entry in the next couple of days. Ill check that out, it may be just a rehash of something they said a week or two back, rather than something thats come out since Friday.
There is normally a scouser with a megaphone up there who shouts out messages to the drivers and other well known faces. I wonder where hes been told hes not welcome any more, or perhaps hes been credit crunched.
The F1 online team owners are having a meeting in the Renault motor home. They have papered over the windows, so photographers cannot see in. Max Mosley is not in the meeting, but is making himself available to the media, keeping the story moving forward.
