If only I can afford to watch this I would! The city of Rome is perfect for me before, and even better, it will have F1 soon! It is NIRVANA! lol It is a street circuit and I love street races because the race gets more interesting, dramatic, and messy car crashes happen!  This should push through in 2012. That would be 3 years from now. Can I save for that trip in 3 years? lol … I don’t think so. I also hope they would have amber lounge there!  Not that it would do me good if they have one there, unless, I would get invited. LOL I’m obviously dreaming…

Anyway the Rome grand prix shouldn’t be an alternative to the Monza circuit so I believe that the Rome street circuit is an additional track.

The Formula 1 Grand Prix in Rome ‘is not’ alternative in Monza ‘. He said the mayor of the capital, Gianni Alemanno, ‘may exist’. ‘The two circuits – stated – can not only coexist but rather help each other in terms of visibility’. So no one wants to remove the circuit at Monza and take it to Rome.
