Monotya shopping for 2007 ride?
January 26th, 2006
Juan Pablo Montoya has told the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport that he is shopping around for a drive in 2007. The Colombian has a contract with McLaren until the end of 2006. There are rumours that the team had an option on Montoya for 2007 and beyond but did not take this up when the deadline came up recently. Montoya says that he will stay at McLaren if the team wants him but he is aware that Fernando Alonso is joining the team in 2007 and that McLaren and Mercedes sources are both saying that Kimi Raikkonen may yet stay. If that were to happen, Montoya would be out of a drive anyway.

If Button doesn’t win next season, his seat will be up for grabs, and I could also see Renault (if the team is still around), and a longshot Ferrari seat.

JPM will be in F1 for a long time. Many of the current teams will love to have him and it will take a little push ( like Jenson lack of victories) for a team to sign him up. Red Bull is interested, BMW-Sauber knows that Juan is much better than Nick or JV; Toyota has been interested in Juan for a long time, since the CART days, and if Ralf doesn’t produce a win an opportunity will appear there for Juan as well.
