Yet again another blog post on a Monaco stamp , remember the previous blog post is also on a Monaco stamp, but the difference is , this one is new and it smells fresh. Yes , my search for a new stamp for the year 2012 related to Formula One yielded a result finally. Monaco post issued a commemorative stamp to celebrate the 70th Monaco Grand prix race.
It is officially not the 70th Formula One Monaco Grand prix but Monaco Grand prix has been on the Formula One calender regularly from 1950 except few years due to world wars. The first Monaco Grand prix started in the year 1929 and it was inaugurated by Prince Pierre. All the credit goes to Anthony Noghes who was the founder of the Monaco Grand Prix. The 2012 Formula One Monaco Grand prix race marks the 70th race which is definitely a huge milestone considering the current economic conditions prevailing in Europe where country in the Europe is struggling with the economic crisis.
