Luca di Montezemolo has refused to speak against plans for a formula one race in the Italian capital in 2012 or 2013.

The issue is a politically contentious one within the country, with those supporting the historic event at Monza angry about the plans for a Rome street race.

"I have spoken with Ecclestone, but I'm not worried," insisted Ferrari president Montezemolo to La Gazzetta dello Sport at Monza .

"There are lots of races and the circuit in the capital would be fascinating. The important thing is that the historical event at Monza is not disturbed," he added.
