McLAREN CONFIRMA OFICIALEMENTE A MONTOYA PARA EL 2005 Opciones

Hombre pues sí, el que se va seguro es Coulthard ya que ha renovado por un año y en cambio Raikkonen tiene un contrato más largo.

¿Cómo reaccionará Williams? ¿Podemos descartar a Montoya como campeón del mundo para el próximo año? ¿Último año de Coulthard posiblemente, (quizás falto de motivación)? ¿Quién entrará en Williams por Montoya? ¿Webber? ¿Alonso? ¿Otro?

¿Os imaginais a Schumacher, Ralf, como campeón el próximo año? Cosa que por lo visto este año es bastante probable.

The Australian driver is now admitting that Williams approached him. "There is talk happening and I'd be lying if I said there wasn't but I've got a contract [with Jaguar] to the end of 2005 and that's how it is," said Webber to The Australian.

"I make no secret of the fact that I admire the way Williams go about their work," added Webber. "But I'm massively focused towards Jaguar at the moment and I'm looking forward to staying with them for the next few years. But we'll see what happens. I've just got to keep driving."

Even if Webber is trying to remain focused on his current team and contract, his own manager, Flavio Briatore, is not as conservative when talking about the situation. "Montoya at McLaren? We all knew about that since four or five months. I would not be surprised if Williams announce very soon a rupture of Montoya's contract. As for the rest, everyone knows..."
