Team bosses want Canada back on the Formula One calendar

Formula One team bosses are set to discuss ways of getting the Canadian Grand Prix reinstated for next season. The race had been scheduled on the original 2009 calendar, but was controversially scrapped earlier this week. It seems likely that Bernie Ecclestone has made the decision on economic grounds, but the F1 teams seem just as disgruntled with the decision as the Candian Grand Prix’s many fans.

“I don’t think it is a short-term problem, but it is a problem that does need to be addressed,” Honda CEO Nick Fry told Autosport. “We are a global series and not to be performing in one of the major continents is a serious problem - even more so because it is a continent that is very important for the motor manufacturers who are involved in F1.
