Tomorrow, Wednesday at 10.30am in Monaco will see the underwater engineering company COMEX and Pierre Frolla, sixfold World Champion for unaided underwater diving, attending a special flag ceremony for the 64th Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco.

In the presence of Prince Albert II of Monaco, Frolla will plunge more than 100-meters depth with the aid of a 30kg weight in order to recuperate the checker flag, the symbol of the Grand Prix. A submarine provided by COMEX will be positioned 100 meters under water in the port of the Principality with Prince Albert II on board, who will hand over the flag to Frolla.
