Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone said today agreement in principle had been reached for the Canadian Grand Prix to return.
The event was dropped for this season following disagreement over rights fees between Ecclestone and the race's promoters but he said a potential deal would keep F1 in Montreal for the next seven years.
He added that a formal agreement had to be reached in the next few weeks in order to make the deadline for the 2010 calendar.
