One week countdown to the Monaco Grand Prix 2019

The event is one of just two F1 races which can be watched from the glitzy setting of a luxury yacht, and those lucky enough to step on board are placed right in the heart of the action.

Grand Prix attendees can choose to privately hire a superyacht, or indulge in a luxury yacht hospitality package.

With celebrities and superyachts already in town for the Cannes Film Festival, the Grand Prix promises to be a star-studded affair complete with decadent parties and rip-roaring spectacles.

It includes plenty of sharp corners, elevation changes and narrow portions that require increased accuracy and precision, as well as the unique challenge of the famous tunnel. Exiting directly alongside the marina, the tunnel puts drivers through their paces as they have to quickly adjust to the dark / light contrast.

Five fixtures in, and competition is stiff. Lewis Hamilton currently holds three wins in the 2019 Championship putting him in first place, with Valterri Bottas coming in second with two wins so far. Both are driving for Mercedes.
