No room on calendar for Rome ? Ferrari

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo believes it is better for Formula 1 to visit new nations than to add a street race in Rome to its calendar, as the Italian city's hopes of hosting a grand prix fade. Rome has been pushing for an F1 slot for some time, but it emerged earlier this week that F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone had informed the city's mayor that countries would no longer be allowed to host more than one grand prix per season - and with Rome having declared that it wanted to be a second Italian event rather than usurping Monza's place on the schedule, its chances of getting an F1 date now seem extremely slim. Speaking at the Wrooom media event in Italy today, di Montezemolo said that the decision was no reflection on the quality of Rome's proposal, but that the teams were agreed that the calendar should not expand beyond this year's 20 dates, and that new territories had to be the priority for any additions to the schedule.
