Montoya and McLaren

[Hot-Rod 0]

Montoya is probably watching very close what is hapening with McLaren now. He was expecting a big fight with his future team, now as the silver arrow is strugling on this begining , he is probably thinking a lot if the move to R.Denis squad was the best decision. Let's wait and see

We'll see how they perform once we get to Melbourne. I am making no further predictions

Patrick head believes Montoya is a very difficult driver and likes all the attention of the team to be on himself. Head doesnt believe he will get this tipe of attention at McLaren either.

Apparently Montoya didnt like the fact that Frank Williams preferred Ralph. I dont believe this, because now Ralph is having so much trouble in getting Frank to give him a raise in salary, Ralph is now asking for 13 million pounds a season , and Frank doesnt agree.

13m pounds?? that's gotta be an inflated figure! i thought he was on 13m usd at the moment.

if he honestly thinks fw will pay that kind of cash he has got to be kidding. i just can't imagine anyone, even toyota, matching such a figure..

Believe it, it is true, that is how much Ralph is asking Williams. Maybe there will be another team that is prepared to pay him, I dont know.

Montoya has replied to the accusations made by Williams. He said that the French Gp was not what made him want to leave the team, but another problem with the team and himself and also the fact that he wanted to change to a better team and try something else.

that is really insane money. i can't see frank footing that bill. if bmw wants him that bad, they're gonna have to pay him themselves i reckon.

13m pounds. *me shakes me head. he could have fisi and webber for that much[/i]

I agree totally I think the work ethic of webber combined with Fisi's natural ability would do wonder at williams, at present they have two guys who has heads bigger than their pay cheques, they arent hungry enough otherwise ralf should have a championship under his belt after 5 yrs at a top team like Williams
