F1 Drivers including Jenson Button and Valtteri Bottas joined VIP guests and Sporting Legends at Amber Lounge
Shaking off the tensions of a highly competitive weekend on track, F1 drivers were out in force, including Jenson Button, Valtteri Bottas, Stoffel Vandoorne, Carlos Sainz, Nico Hülkenberg, Jolyon Palmer, Marcus Ericsson, Daniil Kvyat and Esteban Ocon. Grand entrances were also made by American actress Pamela Anderson, Irish actor Liam Cunningham, former F1 driver Eddie Irvine, Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, Paris St Germain midfielder Marco Verratti, Tour de France green jersey winner Mark Cavendish, Swiss footballing stars Philip and David Degen, and English football manager Alan Pardew.
On Friday, in the esteemed company of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, the megawatt Amber Lounge Fashion Show got the weekend party started. This year’s charity partner was Sir Jackie Stewart’s Race Against Dementia, a cause close to his heart and that of Amber Lounge founder Sonia Irvine. Safiyaa of London showcased an incredible new collection, after which F1 drivers rocked the runway in custom Apsley Tailors suits, while Stoffel Vandoorne wore Michael Kors.
The ladies of F1 also got a star turn, as they lit up the catwalk in a beautiful silk collection by Silviya Neri. Then followed the Auction, during which generous bidders raised in excess of 500,000 Euros for Sir Jackie’s Charity, an outstanding fundraising effort that will help in the fight to find a cure for this terrible illness. Front row VIPs included celebrities Kate Upton and Pamela Anderson, together with Zara Phillips and her husband, former English rugby star Mike Tindall.
R&B superstar Big Ali decimated the dancefloor on both Saturday and Sunday, performing his smash hits, “Hit the Floor” and “Rock the Party”, keeping an impressive array of Monaco Grand Prix revellers on their feet and proving once again that Amber Lounge is the only place to celebrate the F1 weekend. With Jeroboams of Dom Perignon and Methusalem flowing freely, it was another Amber Lounge Monaco to remember.
On race day, celebrities Pamela Anderson and Lindsay Lohan joined the Amber Lounge luxury yacht alongside F1-loving guests, to view the 78-lap Monaco Grand Prix, in which championship leader Sebastian Vettel stormed to victory.
