Who Will Montoya Race For At Melbourne?
Interesting read here on various racing topics. Here is the author's take on Montoya in 2004 ....
Nov. 29, 2003. 01:00 AM Is Montoya trying to drive a hard bargain? F1 driver set to jump ship in 2005 Williams may push him out earlier by NORRIS MCDONALD Toronto Star --------------------------------------------------------- I've removed the copied text and left the link due to copyright.

I've read this guy's articles every Saturday, I think just to **** myself off. Some of the **** that comes from this guy is really incredible sometimes. Not to long ago he was talking of Jeff Gordon (NASCAR) driving a Williams full time. He's best ignored or considered a fool!

The main problem with that guy's story is that JPM isn't designing the widget, he's just using the thing. As long as he doesn't run down to McLaren before qualifying to tell them Ralf's fuel strategy.

Consider that drivers who announce a shift by august, normally had decided (in theirselves) to leave long before; from a substancial point of view it's absolutely the same thing; nay, JOM's behavior is better, being absolutely straightforward, better than some drivers who promise to be faithful to a team (or say nothing about quitting), and then, at the last moment, decide to go (e.g. Hornish)

Not sure which planet he's on, but it ain't the same one as me.
JPM will be driving a Williams at Melbourne 2004, and barring injury or catastrophe he'll be driving a Williams at every other track in 2004 too. |

Ya hes definitely at Wiliams, Probably using this early announcment as a bargaining point in case he wins the WDC this year, try and get Williams to pay more and keep him. A lot of data is already shared between williams and Mcclaren because of the tire stuff...how much i don't know, but its probably a lot.
I also absolutely agree with what he said about Brundle |

A foolish source, yes, but the winds haven't died down. Enough different sources have alluded to a sizable shake up in F1 before Melbourne that I'll hold my opinions until the Parade lap on March 7, 2004..

I wouldn't bother listening to anyone who thinks that they know enough about motorsport to write articles about it, and yet reguards Sebastien Bourdais as "unknown"...

Anyway, Montoya stays next year, and Willams will give hime the same car as Ralf because Frank doesn't care about Drivers Championship. What he wants is the Constructor's Championship! |

I'm with you EERO, nothing can be ruled out. In a world where contracts mean next to nothing, and lawyers rule the sports world, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Montoya is driving a McLaren in 2004, and DC finds himself in the Williams.
That deal is probably closer than we know... |

DC to Williams? .... That deal is probably closer than we know... I think not! But I do doubt that FW/PH are comfortable in the current situation. The winter will be a long one waiting for Melbourne and who will be in the Williams cockpit(s) to start the first race.

I wouldn't count on it!
There's a reason McLaren announced their driver lineup a year in advance, what that reason is, that's anyone’s guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an attempt to get the over-rated JPM to McLaren a year sooner. |

I really wouldn't be surprised if DC did go back to Williams - it's either him or Barrichello...
And teams put designers on gardening leave - why mightn't they do it with Montoya and have Gene in the car this season? |

Stop stating rumours as facts, people. As it starts, Williams will be running Ralf and Montoya in 2004. Any other suggestions are rumours - that's why the question mark was invented. Use it.

JPM will be in a Williams for the 2004 Australian GP at Albert Park, Melbourne. Where else would he be?

I think the suggestion that he will go to McLaren in 2004 is a foolish one. Why would Uncle Frank let his prize talent just leave?

He will leave at the end of the season, but that announcement made so early has another intention
