Prince Albert and Max Mosley in the same story - it’s our lucky day!

(We mean Prince Albert of Monaco, not the cock ring. Just to clarify.)

Anyway, according to the Daily Mail, Herr Max von Mosley will be present at the race but Monaco’s royal family, the Grimaldis, have made it clear that he is not welcome and that they are “unwilling even to shake hands with him”.

The FIA have reacted to this by giving the role of the FIA’s official representative to deputy president Marco Piccinini, who will even attend the fancy Monaco gala dinner in Mosley’s place. Max, if we were you, we’d stay at home and watch the race on TV.
