Montreal's mayor has quashed reports that next year's Grand Prix in the city is under threat.
Some fans have been unable to secure early-bird tickets for the 2017 race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve according to the Le Journal de Montreal newspaper.
It follows reported criticism of the event from Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone.
"He talked about North America in general," Montreal mayor Denis Coderre said. "Do not get excited or worried."
Coderre added that he expects more information to be available "shortly".
However, when the Journal de Montreal contacted race organisers in a bid to secure an early-bird ticket, they were told: "We do not know if the Canadian Grand Prix will take place next year."
