Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone would welcome the Italian Grand Prix returning to Imola after Monza’s contract expires next year.
There is uncertainty as to whether Monza will continue beyond 2016, and Ecclestone says talks are ongoing with both Monza and Imola which hosted the San Marino Grand Prix until 2006.
Brazilian great Ayrton Senna and Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger died in separate crashes on Imola’s track in 1994.
Speaking to reporters at the Austrian Grand Prix, Ecclestone said “we are waiting for results” of talks with both tracks and “maybe we’ll go back to Imola, let’s see. We want to keep Italy.”
Eccelstone added, “I’d like to get Germany back” after German’s GP was scrapped from the calendar this year due to a sharp fall in popularity.
