THE LAST LAP - IS MONACO A TARNISHED JEWEL IN F1’S CROWN?

I did some filming here on Saturday evening for some German friends (one of who, damn him, we call Robert Redford, for obvious reasons). No, it wasn’t a remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and it’s a long time since I might have been cast in the former role. It was a ‘does F1 still need Monaco?’ sort of thing, and the heading to this column was one of the questions they asked. I thought it was a good one.
