montoya out of bahrain gp

Anyone read the article in the times today, it suggests that Montoya hurt his shoulder doing a 50ft jump on a dirt bike and Kimi Raikkonen may like the sauce a little too much for his own good.

Could be april fool rubbish though

Not seen 'The Times' today, but there were a number of 'Kimi on the pi55' stories over the winter, and pictures of him looking 'tired and emotional' in London and Gran Canaria. JPM on a dirt bike does sound more likely than JPM playing tennis too...

Crash.net have a rumour that Montoya's shoulder injury is linked to falling off a Harley too, don't think Harley make dirt bikes though

That was posted yesterday too, so unlikely to be an April fool.

I think it was Justin Wilson who had a burnt butt, and it was serious apparently, not just a blister.
The hammering received in an F1 car for almost 2 hours won't do MW's ribs any good at all and any injury that potentially lessens a drivers ability to control the car will be taken extremely seriously by both the team and FIA medical representatives. It isn't about being a whimp, it is about being able to drive under complete control for the entire race and also not creating longer term injury for the individual drivers body.

The tennis story is correct. Earlier this week a senior man at McLaren explained to me that Montoya stepped backwards, trod on a tennis ball and lost his balance.
