INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - If Monaco is to maintain its spot on the Formula One calendar it is going to have to pay more, McLaren boss Zak Brown has said.

The glitzy principality on the Mediterranean coast has staged Formula One's signature race since the first world championship season in 1950 but Brown indicated that unless Monaco is willing to reach a commercial agreement more in line with other races it risks being dropped from the schedule.
