MONTREAL is back on the Formula One schedule for five years - thanks to more than US$70 million in public money.
Mayor Gerald Tremblay and federal and provincial politicians said at a news conference on Friday an agreement was in place for the Canadian Grand Prix to be held in the city from 2010 to 2014. The race had been at Montreal's Gilles-Villeneuve track every year since 1978 before being dropped this year in a financial dispute between local authorities and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Ecclestone had wanted US$165 million to keep the race in Montreal.
