Montoya claims pole

Juan Pablo Montoya clinched his first pole position of the season for tomorrow’s Italian Grand Prix – thanks to McLaren team-mate Kimi Raikkonen requiring another engine change.

Montoya will be joined on the front row of the grid by championship leader Fernando Alonso as the Renault star finished 0.265 of a second down on the Colombian’s flying-lap time of one minute 21.054 seconds.
