The organisers of the Canadian GP are angry after learning through the media that the race had been dropped and have yet to be told why.
On Tuesday the FIA announced that Formula One would not be stopping off in Montreal next season, however, failed to give a reason for the race's axing.
Added to that they also failed to tell the organisers that it had been scrapped, with the Montreal bosses having to find out via the media.
"The organisers of the Canadian Grand Prix have learned through the media of the Canadian Grand Prix's removal from the 2009 Formula One championship calendar," the Canadian GP organisers said in a statement.
"Consequently, no comments will be issued before speaking with the interested parties, Formula One Management and the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile."
However, according to CNN the reason for the axing is believed to be "contractual problems" between Circuit Gilles Villeneuve officials and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
Barring a sabbatical in 1987, brought on by a dispute between local organisers and F1 over sponsorship, the Canadian GP has been held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve every year since 1978.
