Abu Dhabi denies 2009 F1 debut facing delay
Organisers of the inaugural Abu Dhabi grand prix have rubbished reports the Yas Marina circuit will not be ready to host the 2009 season finale.
Rumours last weekend, and subsequent reports in the Canadian press, suggested the defunct Montreal race could be revived in order to substitute for Abu Dhabi, whose project may be delayed by the global financial crisis.
But Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management (ADMM) said tickets for the November 1 race went on sale on Monday.
"Progress on the construction of Yas Marina Circuit ... is on track and there are no concerns regarding delivery deadlines," a statement issued by ADMM read.
