Montagny to replace Monteiro?

UPDATE Though Indian race sensation Narain Karthikeyan's future with Jordan is more or less secure, his teammate Tiago Monteiro might lose his seat to Renault test driver Franck Montagny, according to media reports here. Though happy with his association with Renault, Montagny has made it clear that he would rather prefer to race and speculation is rife that the Frenchman will drive a Jordan Toyota for his home Grand Prix at Magny Cours. And it may happen as soon as the Canadian Grand Prix on June 12, reports say. This would be a huge disappointment for Monteiro who was just showing signs of coming out of the shadow of his better known teammate Karthikeyan who he pipped in the Spanish Grand Prix. DeepikaGlobal 05/12/05 Renault test driver Franck Montagny is rumored to be taking over Tiago Monteiro's seat at Jordan Toyota for his home Grand Prix at Magny Cours. Recall in a recent interview at Magny Cours to promote the French GP Bernie Ecclestone said that he would like to see a French driver on the grid this summer now that Olivier Panis, the last French driver in the field to race, is busy in his Toyota testing role. Narain Karthikeyan's seat at Jordan Toyota is said to be locked in for the season, but the rumors say that Montagny could take over Tiago Monteiro's seat in the team as soon as the Canadian Grand Prix.
