Goodbye Monza?

formula 1

The Formula 1 racing calendar is in danger of losing another traditional race. Some time ago, there was talk of difficulties in providing conditions for racing in Germany, but now the Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano reports that talks between Bernie Eccleston and representatives of the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza ended without visible success.
