Montoya in the clear

McLaren boss Ron Dennis has exonerated Juan Pablo Montoya of any blame following his costly clash with backmarker Antonio Pizzonia which robbed him of second place in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps today.

Montoya was running a comfortable second behind team-mate Kimi Raikkonen with McLaren cruising towards their first one-two finish for five years when Pizzonia struck four laps from the end.
