Ferrari won't back two races in Italy


Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali has all but ruled out supporting a second grand prix in Italy.

Speculation is rife that Rome will host a street race in the near future and join the iconic race in Monza on the Formula One calendar.

However, Domenicali made it clear that two races in the same country is a no-go for the Italian outfit.

"Our position is very clear and leaves no room for interpretation," Domenicali told the official Ferrari website.

"Our sport is increasingly expanding the number of countries hosting a grand prix and all the teams are in agreement about that. Therefore it is inevitable that it will no longer be possible to have two races in the same nation.

"It's not the job of the teams who choose where a grand prix is held, that's up to the commercial rights holder. Everything else is pure speculation."
