François Dumortier, the promoter of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, says he's delighted with Liberty Media's proactive approach to F1.
Formula 1's management convened all race promoters to a conference in London on Wednesday, the details of which have remained confidential so far.
"Since I took over the Montreal race in 2010, I have never participated in a meeting with all my counterparts present without exception," Dumontier told Le Journal de Montreal.
"More than ever, Liberty Media is listening to its promoters. And that's a good sign," the Canadian GP promoter added.
Liberty's approach marks a departure from the conservative Ecclestone-era of imposed decisions. Dumortier is keeping his lips sealed however with regard to how Liberty intends to reshape race weekends.
"Our discussions are confidential," he said, "but you will hear about it soon."
Dumontier would, however, admit that he is totally opposed to reported plans to scrap Friday practice sessions.
"Fans come to Montreal in large numbers on Fridays," he said. "I cannot imagine the Canadian grand prix over just two days. This is also the case in Australia and a few other places."
Formula 1's management will also be discussing its vision of the future with teams today in London, at a Strategy Group meeting during which Ross Brawn's 2021 engine proposal will likely be heavily debated once again.
