As the BBC have reported we can confirm that Paris Hilton is in town to enjoy the pre and post Grand Prix parties at Monaco. But, apart from this being the place where the beautiful people (those with money anyway) party, why is Paris Hilton here? Do you want the gossip? (Of course you do!) Thanks to the Katie Price Gossip website for this information
Paris Hilton Looks for a F1 Husband
That's the gossip anyway. Paris Hilton is looking for a husband and she wants a Formula 1 Grand Prix race driver. Normally, what Paris wants, Paris gets.
If we were Paris Hilton and not just a pair of old codgers we reckon we'd be doing exactly what Paris is supposedly doing.
We are grateful for a reporter from the Katie Price Gossip website for this gossip. No, Katie Price is not in Monaco this year but word is she'll be in Monaco for the 2011 race... apparently Alex Reid is one hell of an F1 Grand Prix fan.
Alonso's Problem with Hamilton
Alonso's problem with Hamilton can be traced back to Lewis Hamilton's first F1 season when both drivers were with McLaren in 2007. It is difficult to come to any other conclusion but Alonso's problem with the younger man stem from Hamilton's being such a good driver. Any chance Alonso had of putting the jealousy behind him went out the window when Lewis had the cheek to win the F1 World Championship in 2008.
Alonso's Delight
A source told us that Fernando Alonso was "made up" when Lewis Hamilton's McLaren failed to finish the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. Lewis had been in second place and there seemed that nothing would stop him finishing in this podium position... until a dramatic puncture led to his crashing out in the penultimate lap. This did assist Alonso's points tally as Lewis's retirement gave him the second place. The fact that Alonso could have achieved second place any other way - ie he did not have the speed or tactics himself - was lost on the driver.
Hamilton's Sympathy
Our favourite Lewis Hamilton either rises above the ongoing situation with Alonso or just has too much going on in his professional and private life to be bothered. That said, we have it on good authority that Hamiliton empathised with Alonso over his Monaco practice crash. In case you don't know, Alonso crashed his Ferrari during practising on Friday. His Ferrari's chassis suffered irreparable damage and Alonso was unable to take part in Saturday's Qualifying. As a result Alonso has had a chassis change and will be starting from the pit lane in today's Monaco Grand Prix.
