A small white box found near the media centre, adjacent to the La Rascasse corner, at the Monaco Grand Prix last night raised suspicions and race organisers called on a bomb disposal expert to investigate. The area was quickly sealed off and after further investigation it was decided a controlled explosion to destroy the box was the correct course of action.
This incident follows from last year when an unattended bag was discovered on the morning of the race. Although, on that occasion the item was deemed to be of no danger.

Sounds like a rather scary incident. Luckily no one was hurt and the “box” was destroyed. Wonder who planted it…
