Title: Mercedes want Montoya sacked?
Post by: davewilson on July 04, 2006, 08:52:20 PM

Juan Pablo Montoya's nightmare season is plumbing new depths, with fresh rumours that his McLaren departure could be more imminent than expected. Dr Dieter Zetsche, CEO of engine partner Mercedes' parent company DaimlerChrysler, said at Indianapolis last Sunday that the ideal driver line-up for 2007 is Fernando Alonso alongside Kimi Raikkonen.

Montoya, 30, then had his second first-lap smash in seven days, by taking out teammate Räikkönen, and - in the German press - had the finger of blame squarely pointed at him by Mercedes' Formula One director Norbert Haug. Making matters worse, 'AS' newspaper in Spain is presently running a rumour that Haug has implored team principal Ron Dennis to immediately sack the Colombian and replace him with Spanish test driver Pedro de la Rosa from the French Grand Prix.
