Auto racing's governing body has ratified its calendar for the 2010 season and reinstated the Canadian Grand Prix, provided contract negotiations with Formula One management and Montreal organizers are completed.
The Canadian Grand Prix had been held at the Montreal track annually since 1978 before being dropped this season.
There will be 19 races in 2010. The season will start with the Bahrain GP on March 14, FIA said in a statement.
If FIA and the Canadian organizers fail to reach a deal, the Turkish Grand Prix, which is scheduled for May 30, will be moved to June 6.
The Canadian Grand Prix is scheduled for June 13.
Montreal was dropped from the 2009 F1 calendar after negotiations with race organizers collapsed. F1 wanted US$175 million to keep the Montreal race on the 2009 schedule but organizers and the government balked.
Earlier this month, local promoter Normand Legault announced that Formula One Administration and Grand Prix F1 du Canada Inc. had settled their financial dispute. But Quebec politicians involved in the negotiations said talk of a deal was premature.
