Officials close to finalising deal with Ecclestone
Montreal officials have revealed that they are 'trying to finalise' a deal that will see Canada return to the F1 calendar in 2010.
Although Bernie Ecclestone recently confirmed his interest in seeing F1 return to Montreal, the city made it clear that it was not willing to pay just any price that the F1 supremo demanded.
But it now looks as if the two parties have come to an agreement with Montreal's major Gerald Tremblay feeling rather positive about a deal.
"There are still certain commitments which have been made that have to be refined," he was quoted as saying by the Canadian Press agency.
"Right now, we're trying to finalise this agreement in the best interests of Montreal.
"We want Montreal to regain its status as one of the largest Grand Prix (races) in the world."
Montreal was dropped from the roster this year - the first time the Canadian GP has not been part of the Formula One calendar since 1987.
