Montoya sneaks pole position

Colombia’s Juan Pablo Montoya scorched to a hat-trick of pole positions to spearhead an unexpected Williams-BMW one-two at the European Grand Prix in Germany today.

Montoya took top spot on the reconfigured Nurburgring by just 0.009 seconds from Ralf Schumacher as the team-mates took advantage of world champion Michael Schumacher’s technical problems.
