Why F1’s Vegas gamble is set to defy its critics
Over 40 years after its last visit Formula 1 is returning to Las Vegas. And MARK GALLAGHER can’t wait…
I don’t often go hunting for motorsport films on long-haul flights but made an exception back in September when I noticed British Airways was showing Monaco Grand Prix: The Legend, the 2019 documentary directed by Franck Florino and written by Yann-Antony Noghes.
It was Noghes’ grandfather Antony who founded the Monaco Grand Prix in 1929 and the documentary, narrated by Prince Albert, tells the story of how the race was conceived and funded. Ultimately it fell to Rene Leon of the Societe des Bains de Mer, manager of the principality’s major hotels and the Monte Carlo Casino, to come up with the money needed to transform the city streets into a race track.
