From F1 Live:

Canada is set to return to the Formula One calendar next year, Bernie Ecclestone has said.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve event was omitted from this year's schedule after the F1 chief executive failed to agree financial terms with race organisers.

However Ecclestone has been under intense pressure to reinstate the race as soon as possible, especially as the crucial North American market is now completely missing from the calendar.

"I promise we will be in Montreal in 2010," he told Switzerland's Motorsport Aktuell. "Everyone in Formula One loves the Canadian Grand Prix."

He had bad news however for those hoping the United States might quickly return to the schedule. "Forget Indianapolis. We're not going back there," he said.

Ecclestone also suggested that Britain's annual date is not under threat, explaining that if Donington can deliver "then we will be there - if not, then we will be staying in Silverstone.”

Ecclestone also said he hopes Korea and India are the next countries to host Grand Prix.

Good Bernie... keep going... now put the US GP back on the calendar and you can have a Scooby-snack...

That's excellent news; I have always liked the Montreal circuit, usually plenty of thrills and spills for the fans entertainment. Maybe F1 can return to the USA in Long Beach, California as Bernie has ruled out the Brickyard.

The Mayor of Montreal on Tuesday clarified that no deal to reinstate the Canadian grand prix in 2010 has been done.

F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone was earlier quoted by the Swiss magazine Motorsport Aktuell as saying "I promise we will be in Montreal in 2010".

But mayor Gerald Tremblay told French language radio RDS that negotiations are still ongoing, and that Ecclestone has not modified his previous unacceptable offer.

Ecclestone also said on Tuesday that while an F1 return to Indianapolis is not on the cards, his sport could host a United States grand prix somewhere else "the year after (2011)".
