Montoya fractures shoulder

[oddlycalm]

Autosport is reporting that Montoya fractured his shoulder playing tennis in Spain over the weekend and is likely out for Bahrain. If McClaren is able to enlarge the cockpit in time, Wurz is set to sub, otherwise de la Rosa.

Guess it coulda happened to anyone. Dangerous game tennis... :gomer:

You wonder how committed these guys are to winning the Championship !

Of course who would think that Tennis would put you out of competition, but you do throw your body around a lot if you are playing serious tennis, and you hit the ground at least a few times in an aggressive game.

The F1 Championship is particularly competetive this year, and a quite a few have a shot at it other than Schumacher (finally)

My point is should you be risking hurting yourself playing anything during the season?

I'm sure Montoya's contract has a clause about Sky Diving, Motorcycle Riding, maybe even Speeding in your personal car.... but I highly doubt there's a clause about Tennis !!!

It sure has hurt his chances at the Championship ( If he had any)

I don't think a Driver should just sit in a chair all season, but they should at least stop & think !

If McClaren is able to enlarge the cockpit in time, Wurz is set to sub, otherwise de la Rosa.de la Rosa will sub for Montoya. Wurz will sub for Pedro as their Friday tester... if they can get the car modded.

Ya, sure he did. Probably had a fit and punched a wall or something.

If it's a fractured shoulder, I'd say he's likely to miss more races than just Bahrain.

If it's a fractured shoulder, I'd say he's likely to miss more races than just Bahrain.What Ed said. That could mean missing two or possibly three races.

He was playing a game against his trainer!


The Colombian hurt his left shoulder while playing tennis with trainer Gerry Convey in Spain on Saturday. His McLaren team has confirmed that he suffered a hairline fracture of the shoulder with some tissue damage after slipping over.

It must be. But I'm still wondering how Anna Kournikova could get a career ending ankle injury when she spent most of her tennis stardom with her feet in the air.

Apparently his tennis racket is made by Harley.

How the hell do you fall on a Harley. It's like riding a sofa down the street.

[Mike Kellner]

Putting all the previous posts together, perhaps his wife caught him playing tennis on the Harley with Anna Kournikova.
