No deal on Rome grand prix proposal

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has poured cold water on the idea of Italy hosting a grand prix in Rome, branding the scheme “unthinkable”.

Superbike World Championship promoter Maurizio Flammini is spearheading a proposal to bring a Formula One race to the streets of Rome and met with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone at a Ferrari ski event earlier this month.
