the Formula 1 Gran Prix won't be in Montreal for the 2009 season.

Default The latest provisional F1 Schedule

F1 revises '09 calendar
With the French Grand Prix out and no confirmation yet that the Canadian Grand Prix will be rescued by public funding for a new promoter, Bernie Ecclestone has shortened the 2009 Formula One schedule.

The season now will finish two weeks earlier than planned. The FIA World Motor Sport Council approved a new, provisional 17-race calendar that has the Chinese Grand Prix moving from its normal October date to April.

The full schedule:

March 29: Australia

April 5: Malaysia

April 19: China

April 26: Bahrain

May 10: Spain

May 24: Monaco

June 7: Turkey

June 21: Britain

July 12: Germany

July 26: Hungary

August 23: Europe

August 30: Belgium

Sept 13: Italy

Sept 27: Singapore

Oct 4: Japan

Oct 18: Brazil

Nov 1: Abu Dhabi<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoweek.com/article/20081110/FREE/811109981">Autoweek article 11/10/08</a></li></ul>

Default VTB Ecclestone.

I find it simply awesome that Ferrari and Toyota will be backing out of F1 if Ecclestone and the FIA do decide to go with standardized engines.

Default Montreal seemed like such a great place for the event. I guess I'll fly to Monaco for the F1

wonder if my Alaska Air frequent flier miles will get me there

Default Somebody on AWOT posted that all of the hotels he tried in Monaco are already all booked...

during F1 weekend. So good luck : )

I was actually looking to go to Montreal next year also. Maybe do Barcelona or Venezuela, but those GP's don't seem to be as exciting as the Canadian GP is.

Monaco would be siiiiiick... But I can't afford that right now.
