McLaren prepared to drop Montoya

The public admission that Juan Montoya is dispensable by McLaren team 'F1 CEO' Martin Whitmarsh will be a blow to The Colombian, who – like Raikkonen – is near the end of his current contract. ''We've made no secret of the fact that we would prefer Kimi … to remain in the team,'' Whitmarsh told the British Guardian 'paper. He said: ''To that end we've given him the maximum amount of time to decide what he wants to do.''
