Canadian GP back for 2010 season

The Canadian Grand Prix will return to the Formula 1 calendar next year after organisers reached an agreement with F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.

The Canadian GP, which had been part of the F1 World Championship since 1967, was dropped for this season as a result of a financial disagreement.

The Montreal race has been provisionally agreed for 6 June 2010.

wait there's more...

Piquet 'now unemployable in F1'

Formula 1 is nervously awaiting the outcome of the inquiry into Nelson Piquet Jr's claim to have crashed intentionally under instructions during last year's Singapore Grand Prix in order to help his Renault team-mate Fernando Alonso's race.

We will have an answer around 21 September and before the next GP in Singapore, ironically where all the troubles began last year.

The word in the paddock is that team boss Flavio Briatore will step away from F1 - possibly even before the hearing.

Briatore and director of engineering Pat Symonds deny the allegations that they asked Piquet to crash and Renault have stated that they have initiated a criminal case against the Piquets for extortion and attempted blackmail. Heavy stuff.

So does addition of Montreal Candian GP preclude adding a US GP?

BTW Cosworth is back in business of supplying F1 engines, for 2010.

well we're getting closer to the US ... I got to Indy for the non-race when all of the French tires surrendered

The nasty nelsons have become quite a soap opera ... LOL

I think Flavio has too much ego to just walk away ... I think .. for what that's worth

Flav Briatore leaves Renault, and they aren’t gonna dispute charges of cheating at Singapore last year. Wow.
