MONZA (ITALY) - After months of doubt, the future of the Italian Grand Prix is expected to be resolved this weekend with Formula One's commercial ring-master Bernie Ecclestone signing a deal to keep the event at its long-time home Monza. He said that he hoped final details will be agreed during this weekend's Italian Grand Prix with a formal announcement confirming the deal. Sticchi Damiani said that the local Lombardy Region had agreed to contribute around 15 million euros ($16.7m) to ensure the deal went through. He added that Imola, which had been put forward as an alternative venue, would have been a sensible alternative. "Imola would have been a good fallback solution if we had not arrived at a deal."
