    I think every other news source said Montoya offered to drive for free.
    ----------------------------
    The publication said that 30-year-old Montoya, linked most strongly with a move to Red Bull but also BMW Sauber, was actually offered the seat alongside Alonso, but he rejected the team's insistence that he accept a hefty pay cut.

    Actually I read that Montoya was offered a major salary cut and he told McLaren to stuff it. He is rumored to go to Red Bull or BMW.

    Well he's not going to BMW since Jacques and Heidfeld are going to drive there next year, but I don't know about Red Bull. Either way I can't stand Montoya; I hope he goes to Aguri.

    nick is confirmed at BMW next year, not JV. dr. mario said that all final decisions will be made at the end of the season. but anyways, i doubt very much monty will be headed that way. remember 2003 when he called some of them ' wankers ' on the pit radio at magny cours? so, my guess is, red bull is a more favourable destination...

    Brian, he called Sam Michael and the guys at Williams in the Pit Wankers because he thought they destroyed his chance at a win. He got along fine with the BMW guys.

    Monty, slim chance (when Hell freezes over) at Williams, likely BMW or RBR.

    I'd go to Red Bull over BMW since that's where Newey is...

    Brian, pit strategy at Williams (since they had Honda, Renault, and BMW Power) was always determined by the Technical Director. JPM got into a verbal slang with Sam Michael at the French GP. I think JPM was actually the perfect Williams driver. Saying that, if Alonso or KR was in the 03 Williams BMW, I am sure one of them would have won the championship in that car.
