Canadian GP Officially Confirmed

Published

By Christine Blachford

The 2010 calendar will officially feature a Canadian Grand Prix, and it will be at Montreal. This is great news for fans who have been hoping to see the track back on the calendar.

Mayor of Montreal Gerald Tremblay held a press conference today and confirmed that the race will be held in the city from 2010 until 2014.

Public Works Minister Christian Paradis was quoted as saying:

"After several months of negotiations, and numerous drafts, and after much hard and diligent work, I'm proud to announce the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix back for the next five years."

Journeyer pointed out this morning that this announcement was expected, whilst this afternoon Webby directed us to an article in TSN.

We've been awaiting the press conference to make it official, and now the celebrations can begin.

    While this good news to hear I won't believe it until I see the cars on track for FP1 because there have been too many rumours over the past year for me to even care until I see hard evidence, blame the eternal pessimist in me.

    Great news, looking forward to it already.
    A thought did occur to me though. If the brakes aren't going to be made bigger to compensate for fuel weight (Williams blocked it), this is the place it'll be felt most, where they are marginal anyway.
