There is not enough time to rescue the Canadian grand prix for 2009, according to Honda's team CEO Nick Fry. A financial dispute with Bernie Ecclestone resulted in the Montreal race dropping off the calendar for next year. The issue is now the subject of frenetic rescue efforts, not only by Canadian levels of government but in the F1 teams' alliance FOTA, for whom the key North American market is now entirely absent from the schedule. Fry told the French language newspaper La Presse: "I do not think we will be able to save the 2009 race; there is not enough time. "On the other hand we must find a solution for 2010 and the years beyond. Within FOTA, we must make it a top priority to have at least two North American races on the calendar."
