In a now-deleted tweet, a prominent Formula One pundit caused controversy by declaring that Monaco was “just a glorified playground for the rich and famous.” The tweet immediately drew backlash from both fans and drivers alike.
Max Verstappen, who had just led a Red Bull one-two in final practice, responded by saying, “Well, excuse me for being rich and famous and for enjoying a good race track.” The Dutch driver’s comments were met with applause from the Monaco crowd, who were decked out in their finest designer outfits and sipping on glasses of champagne.
Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, was less impressed. The reigning champion crashed his Mercedes towards the end of practice, possibly adding more fuel to the debate over whether Monaco is really just a playground for the rich.
“In my opinion, Monaco is the ultimate test of a driver’s skill and precision,” Hamilton said after the crash. “It’s not about how much money you have or how famous you are. It’s about your ability to navigate those narrow streets and come out on top.”
However, it seems Verstappen and Red Bull may have the upper hand heading into Sunday’s race. With their dominant performance in practice and the controversy surrounding Monaco’s “playground” status, it’ll be interesting to see who comes out on top. Maybe next year they’ll add a special VIP section for Twitter pundits to watch the race from their ivory towers.
