This year, the other prince of Monaco is therefore him, Max Verstappen, 25, of Dutch nationality. On May 28, and for the second time in his career, the driver of the Red Bull team won the Principality Grand Prix ahead of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon.

The most common rainbow flag currently has only six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Like Charlene's dress.

Finally, note the presence on the fourth step of the podium, on the far left of the photo, of Pierre Waché, a French engineer currently technical director of Max Verstappen's Red Bull team. For the occasion, he wore a true watchmaking legend on his wrist: the Monaco from TAG Heuer, released in 1969 and passed down to posterity two years later thanks to the film Le Mans, in which Steve McQueen proudly wrist. On the Monaco podium that day, it was obviously the watch to wear.
