Conor McGregor docks luxury yacht in Monaco as he arrives to attend F1 Grand Prix

Conor McGregor and his family pulled in to Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in quite some style - as they arrived on his €3m Lamborghini yacht.

Always a highlight of the motorsport calendar, this year's edition takes place on Sunday with McGregor describing it as 'a dream' of his to one day be there in person.

He wrote: "Pulling into Monaco for the @f1 Grand Prix! A dream come true for me."

In the accompanying photos, Conor, fiancée Dee Devlin and two of their children are seen frolicking around on its huge lounging space.

They turned quite a few heads as onlookers both on the shore and nearby boats can be heard shouting out his name.

All in all it's about as blissful a scene as one can imagine as the whole McGregor clan continue to lap it up in their French adventure.

They'd initially been based around Saint-Tropez where they celebrated Conor Junior and Rían's fifth and first birthdays.

Then Conor and Dee headed off to Cannes to attend its world-famous film festival - where they schmoozed with pop royalty Kylie Minogue no less.

The Crumlin fighter will in all likelihood be rubbing shoulders with some other famous faces over the weekend with how this race in particular always attracts the good and the great.

As for the race itself, home driver Charles Leclerc will be hoping to improve on his previous record, which has led to whisperings that he is ‘cursed’ when it comes to his native race.

With an 18th place, two ‘did not finish’ and one race cancelled due to a global pandemic, Leclerc will be hoping that this is the year to turn the tide at this famous circuit.

Once so famously dominated by Ayrton Senna, Monte Carlo drips with history, now perfectly poised for drama after the championship lead changed hands at the Spanish GP last weekend.

The race is due to get underway at 2pm Irish time (3pm in Monte Carlo). Build up is expected to begin at 12:30 pm, including the glamorous grid walk.

All the action for the weekend of racing will be provided by Sky Sports.
