Canadian Grand Prix organisers have announced they have secured a new deal that will keep the Formula One grand prix at Montreal until 2029.
Circuit Gilles Villeneueve has been the regular host of the Canadian Grand Prix since 1978, apart from one year hiatuses in 1987 and 2009 when the race was not held. The circuit's previous deal ran up to 2024 but talks that began with Bernie Ecclestone last year have now been finalised, extending the contract for a further five years.
Doubts had been raised about the circuit's future after it was reported it had been unable to complete renovations in time for this year's grand prix, however, organisers have since reached an agreement -- which includes a commitment to upgrade the garage facilities -- following Liberty Media's successful takeover of the sport.
