It is believed that Hilton's destination could be Monaco next month; but, as Hollywood gossip would also suggest, it is unlikely that her trip is going to be merely social.

According to speculation, the 26-year-old will be paid for the paddock appearance; with the origin of the cash to soon emerge on the livery of Silverstone based Spyker's orange racer.

The smart money is on Rich Prosecco -- a fizzy drink in a gold can.
