Montoya has edge in test of nerve

JUAN PABLO MONTOYA proved he is back with a bang in Formula One after winning a battle of wills with Fernando Alonso at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone.

Montoya took the chequered flag for the first time with new team McLaren, and for the fifth time in a career which has promised so much but often failed to deliver.

When the Colombian joined the Woking-based team from Williams for this year, the belief was that if the car delivered, he was talented enough to be a serious title challenger.
