McLaren target Montoya say BBC

SCOTSMAN David Coulthard’s mixed spell at the McLaren Formula One team could be drawing to a close as they have targeted Colombian driver Juan Pablo Montoya, it was revealed by the BBC on Monday.

While Williams still have the 27-year-old under contract for one more season, it is believed by the BBC that McLaren will make a serious bid to lure him away when it is up.

While McLaren have yet to confirm Coulthard as their second driver for next season, alongside championship contender Kimi Raikkonen, it is thought unlikely that Frank Williams would allow Montoya to go before his contract ends.
