IMHO Monza represents the history, like ol Hockenheim, Spa, Silverstone, etc. If F1 goes away from these tracks soon there will be no history and no F1. Short term economics that cut these ties will eventually be left without anything. It is proven over and over.
The Rome GP is a bad idea, all around. F1 fans, this is your sport too. Have your say!
