Be rational. Listen to your heart
A Formula 1 race through the winding streets of a small
town on the Côte d'Azur? A positively insane idea - but one
that turned out to be highly successful, putting the name of
one little resort well and truly on the world map: Monte Carlo,
a place of passion - and proof that ideas which appeal
to the emotions are often the most rational, too.
