That is the exclusive claim of Bild newspaper, reporting that Monaco's Prince Albert confided the news to friends during the Grand Prix weekend recently.

Bild said: "Monaco wanted to prepare the new pitlane for 2017, but engineers were unable to guarantee they would finish it in time.  So the project was postponed to 2018."
