The fate of the Italian Grand Prix, scheduled for 10 September, was in the balance yesterday after officials failed to give the go-ahead to safety work at the Monza circuit. Current proposals envisage felling 185 trees at the circuit, which lies inside a protected park, to meet additional safety changes sought by the International Motoring Federation.
