The fight to secure the Italian Grand Prix has taken another twist after it was revealed that Imola has now taken legal action to ensure they will hold the race.
Recent reports claim that Imola has agreed at deal with Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, but Monza officials are adamant they haven't lost the right to host the race yet.
As a result, Imola officials have now taken the matter further to ensure that their agreement is honoured.
In a statement published in the Gazzetta di Parma newspaper, Imola race organisers said that it had "a valid contract received by the London office of the boss of Formula One, Bernard Charles Ecclestone."
"Moreover, the same proposal ... to the Autodromo di Monza was not accepted," the statement added.
Imola's appeal to the Lazio tribunal has been filed against the Austomobile Club d'Italia's refusal to cooperate in terms of backing and the release of funds for the race.
Italian Olympic chief Giovanni Malago said on Wednesday: "I understand that soon there will be an offer [from Monza].
"In any case, the ACI, which is heading the negotiations, absolutely wants Monza. I do not know if there are other feasible proposals," he is quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I hope that in the days to come there is positive and conclusive news," he added.
