The next port of call for the Formula One fraternity will be the MonacoGrand Prix later this month, and though glamour is never in short
supply in Monte Carlo, this year it’s set to get an even bigger
sprinkling thanks to a charity catwalk show and auction.
Organised
by Amber Fashion and raising funds for the Elton John Aids Foundation,
the star-studded event will be held on the Friday evening, ahead of the
Principality’s race on the Sunday.
Formula One drivers Lewis
Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button, Nelson Piquet, Vitantonio
Liuzzi, Mark Webber, David Coulthard and Adrian Sutil are all expected
to grace the catwalk, as they try their hand at modelling FORM, Petra
Ecclestone’s new luxury menswear collection, and there could even be a
star turn by world champion Kimi Raikkonen.
The drivers’ wives
and girlfriends and several world-famous supermodels will also feature,
and with actress Elizabeth Hurley’s haute couture swimwear range, Jimmy
Choo shoes, Chopard jewellery and Isabell Kristensen’s evening gowns
all set to be modelled, those taking part will be spoilt for choice.
Following
the catwalk event, guests will be invited to bid for a selection of
luxurious lots to raise money for the Aids Foundation. Items on offer
include a week on Force India co-owner Dr Vijay Mallya’s 95-metre
yacht, the Indian Empress, and a piano used by Elton John to write and
record the Grammy-nominated ‘Songs from the West Coast’, signed by 17
international musicians.
With legendary auctioneer Charlie Ross
on hand to help boost bids, TV presenters Steve Rider and Tamara
Ecclestone in charge of hosting duties and a Martini-sponsored party,
Monaco’s glitterati are expected to be out in force. The event will be
held at the Le Meridien Beach Plaza Hotel on Friday, May 23.
So Jenni could be possibly attending? I don’t think Kimi would do it alone, but it’s not the first time he’s given charity by himself. And his wife also took part in his Tag Heuer 2008 campaign (picture above). I’d say the Iceman and his Ice Maiden would be the hottest pair to strut their stuff on the catwalk.
Kimi on track for 2008 title – Keke Rosberg
From F1-Live.com
Kimi Raikkonen is perfectly on track to win a second successive
drivers’ world championship in 2008, his countryman Keke Rosberg
thinks.
Rosberg, the 1982 world champion, said that notwithstanding Raikkonen’s
lacklustre run to third in Turkey, the reigning title winner is
plotting a solid course to another crown.
Reigning champion Raikkonen is seven points ahead of his Ferrari
team-mate Felipe Massa and McLaren’s highest-placed challenger Lewis
Hamilton, after winning in Malaysia and Spain and finishing on the
podium at every other race except Australia.
"Kimi does not win every race," Rosberg observed to the Berlin
newspaper BZ.Keke Rosberg said Raikkonen will not be too unhappy to
have finished third at Turkey, a circuit at which his team-mate Massa
usually excels.
"A champion is someone who scores well on his bad days and wins on his good days.
"For Kimi, everything is going exactly to plan," he concluded.
