Rome gives up on F1 race plans

Rome has now officially given up on its plans to hold a Formula 1 street race - as the Italian city says its efforts are now switching to securing the Olympics. After months of speculation about whether a grand prix could be put on in Rome's streets, the hopes of an event were dashed a few weeks ago when Bernie Ecclestone wrote a letter to organisers stating that no country would be allowed to hold two races in their country. With Monza already having a long-term deal to host the Italian Grand Prix, that all but killed off Rome's hopes of landing a race.
