The French superstar scored goals number 30 and 31 in La Liga on Saturday to lead his side to a 2-0 victory. The game ended just after 5pm (UK time). Some 20 hours later, Mbappe was already in Monte Carlo, with fellow Madrid team-mate Thibaut Courtois joining him in the principality. Mbappe began his senior club career in 2015 with Monaco, before his £166million blockbuster move to PSG. The forward then made his switch to La Liga last summer as a free agent. Barcelona defender Jules Kounde turned up to the race with fellow Frenchmen Mike Maignan - AC Milan's goalkeeper. Kounde has been out since the end of April with a hamstring injury and will miss Barcelona's final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.

The shot-stopper kept a clean sheet in the 2-0 win at the San Siro, which ended at around 10pm UK time, giving him just 16 hours to jet from Milan to Monaco for lights out. 22-year-old Bayern Munich wonderkid Jamal Musiala also had a pitlane pass for the showpiece Formula One event. The Bundesliga season ended last week; nonetheless, the midfielder has not turned out for the German giants since suffering a muscle strain in his left hamstring at the start of April. Musiala's Bayern team-mate Kingsley Coman was seen at qualifying on Saturday, but was not pictured at the race on Sunday. Former Manchester United captain Patrice Evra joined Red Bull in their garage and was seen in an embrace with team principal Christian Horner. In a sensational career switch, Evra, 43, was set to make his mixed martial arts debut later this month, but the event has been postponed for a later date. In Sunday's Grand Prix, Lando Norris crossed the line ahead of the pack to claim his second victory of the season.

Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were next in the pecking order to complete the top five. Norris is now within three points of Piastri in the drivers' championship, while Mc Laren are runaway leaders in the constructors' standings, sitting 172 points ahead of Mercedes, who failed to score a point in Monaco. George Russell finished P11, while Kimi Antonelli finished 18th - last of all drivers to complete the race.
