TV channel RDS reported a week ago that Montreal Mayor Coderre says that there is now a verbal agreement to resolve the impasse surrounding track renovations and the extension of the race contract.
According to Coderre a deal will be signed soon for the city to pay $48M CDN to rebuild the paddocks and make other improvements by 2019. In return F1 will extend the current contract to 2019.
I'm happy to see some positive news about the future of the race. I want to believe what Coderre says but I will wait for confirmation from F1 officials and other news sources until I celebrate. But for now, the Montreal F1 Babes are smiling and I am planning my 13th trip (since 2000) to the race in June.
