Ferrari Team Principal Arrivabene Calls For Italian Grand Prix To Stay In Monza

Ferrari Team Principal Maurizio Arrivabene said that Monza "should be the permanent home of the Italian grand prix," according to GMM. Mugello has "often been mentioned as a potential alternative venue for the Italian grand prix." Monza's current place on the schedule "is in doubt," as promoter Sias and F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone "argue over the price of the next contract." When asked about Monza's situation while trackside at Mugello for the MotoGP round, Arrivabene said, "This is not my job. I'm not a politician. But for me, the Italian Grand Prix is at Monza and it must stay there. At Maranello, there is a picture of Enzo Ferrari on the track at Monza and that says it all" (GMM, 6/1).
