Montoya not interested in driving for Ferrari
Juan Pablo Montoya says he is not interested in a drive with Michael Schumacher at Ferrari next season , unless he can be No.1.
"Going to Ferrari does not turn me on right now for the simple fact that Michael is number one and has that status laid down in his contract, He has the whole team working for him so there would be nothing to gain going there and having an inferior car" . Montoya said.

Well he has a point! But at the same time if you want to get to the top you have to be under someone for sometime, the way he is going is good too, he is just going to take longer, IMO

I think sticking with WilliamsBMW will probably be smarter. I've said this before, but once Schumacher leaves Ferrari, I think Todt, Brawn and Bryne won't be far behind - there will then be a drastic drop in Ferrari's competiveness.

Read that BMW is going full Works in '04. Maybe they'll make good use of the power the engines are putting out. McLaren has a good chassis but the MB engines are only now starting to be competitive. It would've been nice to see 3 teams battling from the start.

PS: Nice avatar - cool shot of your car in the Corkscrew. Was that part of an SCCA or NASA track day? I've looked some into going to one of the NASA events - looks like a lot of fun for a reasonable price.

I read yesterday that BMW is going to protest Ferrari's plan to use some exotic alloys - I think that is fair play since Ferrari managed to get Beryllium banned putting MB in a horsepower deficiency hole for a couple of years. By the way, did you hear the Gerhard Berger is leaving BMW? I think he has did a good job in his position.
