Monza 'could have Formula 1 deal by early May'

The long-running political saga over the future of the Italian Grand Prix "could end positively" within the next few days, according to a report.

It is still not clear if historic Monza will continue to host the endangered Italian Grand Prix beyond September's 2016 race.

Bernie Ecclestone's negotiations with race organisers have been publicly tumultuous, culminating in the recent resignation of Ivan Capelli from the organising body Sias.

Meanwhile, Sias president Andrea Dell'Orto insists that he is going nowhere.

"I absolutely refuse to abandon my role having been empowered with a precise mandate," he insisted.

However, Italy's Autosprint now claims the long-running political saga "could end positively" within the next few days, perhaps with the forced departure of Dell'Orto, paving the way for a deal with Ecclestone.
