Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is putting pressure on Monza to start construction work that was planned for September, as talks for a contract extension are ongoing.

Domenicali highlighted the successful opportunity Imola had in 2020, but emphasized that they cannot invest more privately and that it is important for the country to support Formula 1 as a sporting, promotional, and business platform. He also suggested that Formula 1 can no longer be managed privately, indicating a need for broader support.
