The Italian Grand Prix will remain on the Formula One calendar until at least 2016 at its current venue, the high speed Monza circuit, with an announcement being made by track officials yesterday. "The Italian Grand Prix will be at Monza until 2016," said Claudio Vigano. "The extension of the contract has been signed."  

Last week Bernie Ecclestone claimed Rome would hold a Grand Prix in 2013. If it does, it would mean Italy having two rounds of the world championship for the first time since 2006. The Italian round is one of only two races on the calendar which has appeared in every championship since it began in 1950 – the other being the British Grand Prix. Monza has held every running of the Italian Grand Prix except for the 1980 race, which was held at Imola.  

The Italian Grand Prix will remain at Monza until 2016 after a deal between Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and the historic track's managers. There had been uncertainty over the circuit's future amid rumours of a new Grand Prix through the streets of Rome. But Ecclestone has signed off a four-year extension to a contract which was due to expire in 2012. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is one of F1's most famous venues, having first hosted the Italian Grand Prix in 1922.  

Bernie Ecclestone has signed an agreement which will keep the Italian Grand Prix at Monza until at least 2016. There had been fears that the historic circuit, which has hosted every Italian Grand Prix bar one since 1922, might lose its place on the Formula One calendar when its contract expired in 2012. On Thursday, however, Ecclestone, who controls Formula One's commercial rights, put pen to paper on a four-year contract extension which will see the race continue at the track, which is located in a r  

PARIS—With luck, the deadly dull Bahrain Grand Prix was not an unfortunate one-off but the first in a parade of mind-blowingly boring races that will ruin the Formula One season. Because a complete lack of racing spectacle could be just what is needed to finally force the remarkably conservative sport to swallow its medicine and accept radical changes that would a) enable cars to actually overtake each other and b) give fans what they want, which is races consistently worth watching and not the bus-like

During the Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend, Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone was quoted as saying that a return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was under consideration. Not so fast, say spokesmen for the speedway, who say that while the facility is interested in bringing the U.S. Grand Prix back, talks are not currently taking place. Since the first "American Grand Prize" was held in 1908, the United States Grand Prix has been staged at a wide variety of locations across the country, including S

Former F1 driver David Coulthard has blamed former FIA boss Max Mosley for making changes to the formula that led to a boring season-opening race in Bahrain. Mosley, who stood down as president of the governing body last year, after being involved in a public scandal involving prostitutes and being accused of letting his own personality intervene in the application of FIA sanctions, had been the prime mover in introducing a wide range of new rules and regulations for 2010. Writing in his column in the

I hope Max Mosley, watching from his ivory tower after relinquishing his post as president of Formula 1's governing body last autumn, enjoyed the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.   -David Coulthard
