Ecclestone confident over Montreal's F1 return

Montreal appears poised to return to the Formula One scene in 2010 after the sport’s commercial rights-holder Bernie Ecclestone stated that an agreement in principle has been reached for the Canadian Grand Prix.

The event was dropped from the 2009 Formula One calendar following disagreement over rights fees between Ecclestone and the race’s promoters, but the F1 chief told Swiss magazine Motorsport Aktuell on Tuesday that a potential deal would keep F1 in Montreal for at least the next seven years.
