Since its begining the GRAND PRIX de MONACO is a gathering of the international society, the jet set, or in olden days the "the ocean liner set" ...
Some of inhabitants of Monaco sell at high prices places on their balconies, and pay from the mortgage of their flats ...

The society of Monaco is a more or less "closed circle". Better you have "old money" than being "nouveau riche". Bragging is such a no-go ... But if you blend in the strict rules of Monacos elite, you are welcome. In the end everyone wants to make a business ... but if able "eating without an accident with fork and knife" then it is okay ... The original inhabitants of Monaco and the residents are in general very welcoming and friendly.

The MONACO GRAND PRIX (French:
GRAND PRIX de MONACO) is a Formula One motor race held each year on the Circuitde Monaco. Run since 1929, it is widely considered to be one of the most
important and prestigious automobile races in the world and, with the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, forms the Triple Crown of Motorsport. The circuit
has been called "an exceptional location of glamour and prestige".

The race is held on a narrow
course laid out in the streets of Monaco, with many elevation changes and tight corners as well
as a tunnel, making it one of the most demanding tracks in Formula One. In
spite of the relatively low average speeds, it is a dangerous place to race and
often involves the intervention of a safety car.
It is the only Grand Prix that does not adhere to the FIA's mandated
305-kilometre (190-mile) minimum race distance.
The event was part of the pre-Second
World War European Championship and was
included in the first World Championship of Drivers in 1950. It
was designated the European Grand Prix two times, 1955 and 1963,
when this title was an honorary designation given each year to one Grand Prix
race in Europe. Graham Hill was known as "Mr. Monaco"
due to his five Monaco wins in the 1960s. Brazil's Ayrton Senna won the race more times than any other driver, with six victories,
winning five races consecutively between 1989 and 1993. Fernando Alonso is the only driver to have won the race in consecutive years for
different constructors, winning for Renault in 2006 and McLaren in 2007.

The GRAND PRIX de MONACO is
widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious automobile
races in the world alongside the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. These three races are considered
to form a Triple Crown of the three most
famous motor races in the world. Graham Hill is the only driver to have won the
Triple Crown, by winning all three races. The practice session for Monaco
overlaps with that for the Indianapolis 500, and the races themselves sometimes
clash. As the two races take place on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean and form part of different championships, it is difficult for one
driver to compete effectively in both during his career. Juan Pablo Montoya, who won the Monaco Grand
Prix in 2003 and the Indianapolis500 in 2000 and 2015,
is the only driver still racing in 2015 who has won two of the three races and
thus is the closest to completing the Triple Crown.

In awarding its first Gold medal
for motor sport to late Prince Rainier III, husband of late Hollywood and style icon Grace Kelly - Princess Gracia Patricia, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) characterised the GRAND PRIX de MONACO as contributing
"an exceptional location of glamour and prestige" to motor sport.
It has been run under the patronage of three generations of Monaco's royal
family: Louis II, Rainier III and Albert II, all of whom have taken a
close interest in the race. A large part of the principality's income comes
from tourists attracted by the warm climate and the famous casino, but it is
also a tax haven and is home to many millionaires, including several Formula One
drivers.

Monaco has produced only three
native Formula One drivers, Louis Chiron, André Testut and Olivier Beretta, but its tax status has made it
home to many drivers over the years, including Gilles Villeneuve and Ayrton Senna. Of the 2006 Formula One contenders, several have
property in the principality, including Jenson Button and David Coulthard, who was part owner of a hotel
there. Because of the small size of the town and the location of the circuit,
drivers whose races end early can usually get back to their apartments in
minutes. Ayrton Senna famously retired to his apartment after crashing out of
the lead of the 1988 race.
Nicolò Picardo is managing the GRAND BANKS 80 yacht SAY KUNG, which is offering five cabins, for 10 persons, for overnight (make an offer) and 10 persons as day guests.
The prices Nicólo Picardo is able to offer are the lowest in the market.
