Its really a great news !!! Montreal is one of the few challenging circuits in F1 !!!
But which circuit will not be seen anymore from next season as Montreal is back ???

It could be extra races so no other circuit is axed or quite possibly the British GP as Donington and Silverstone are both not good enough.

Why do you say Silverstone is not good enough? It's one of the best circuits, unfortunately we won't see it near future.

Not good enough for Bernie was what I meant. I think it has to do with the facilities in and around the circuit rather than the track itself.

As someone who's driven down to Montreal (from the States) for the GP, I couldn't be any happier. It's a great track, local people very friendly and the weather at that time of the year (June / July) is purrrfect for racing! Montreal is second only to Monaco in terms of pre-race festivities....most of downtown is cordoned off and there is a party on every corner, and even the streets!

I'd say Montreal any which day over Indianapolis (which some how always got bogged down in controversy).

I should try my best to watch the race in Montreal next year. Let's see how that turns out.

Just 5 hrs drive from NYC. Calls for a great weekend long meet next year.
