I don't think i explained myself to well! I don't have a problem with celebs and big knobs attending races. You are right in what you say in that their company's no doubt provide sponsorship or other services to motorsport that we don't necessarily see. What i do have a problem with is that seems to be the only reason we (i mean F1) actually race at Monaco. It just seems to be a 'race' weekend where the main focus is on who has the biggest yacht, who is hosting the most lavish party and who has managed to persuade so and so the film star to show up. There is no way that in this day and age, where F1 is trying to improve 'the show' on track that Monaco has a place. After all, the race itself is more like a carnival procession around a very expensive housing estate.
I just think it's a waste of a championship round that could go to a more exciting track somewhere else, where the racing actually counts.
