The Italian Grand Prix at Monza is confirmed for 2016, but this season's edition of the legendary race could well be the boss according to F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone.
Negotiations regarding the future of the race in Italy has been subject of negotiation for several months with Imola and Mugello suggested alternatives.
But now the very future of the Italian Grand Prix is at stake as Ecclestone revealed, "Monza has got a contract for this year so it is going to go ahead."
"Next year is the question mark I don’t think we have to have an Italian Grand Prix. Somebody once told me a funny thing that you couldn’t have Formula 1 without a race in France. But we do," the 85 year old billionaire told the Daily Mail.
Adding more races is an option, but Ecclestone is not sure if such an option is sustainable, "We have got 21 races now. It could go more, but I don’t think it will. It’s enough. Some of the guys at the teams are shattered."
