when asked why he is jumping ship in 2005........

"They're coming out quite soon with the new [B spec] car," he said."

"Hopefully it's quicker. I'm sure they'll be ready when I get there."

yeah, mclaren/mercedes has not had good luck this year with engines that's for sure, lol, but they do have that super new factory setup and the new car coming out soon. although neither has honda. poor Takuma Sato, has quite a record now blowing engines, lol.

back to montoya, there is also that rumor that he is trying to get out of his mclaren contract and go to bars/honda? i don't think that will happen but who knows? either way which ever team he ends up with..... those red cars are still going to be hard to beat!:)

"Having driven both the GP and Nordsheilfe circuit(as well as SPA) for track days each of the last four years, watching this weekend's race brings back a lot of memories."

very cool, i'll bet you have some good stories about that.:)
