Tennis accident key to Montoya split - Dennis

Tennis accident key to Montoya split - Dennis

01 October 2006

McLaren team boss says Juan Pablo Montoya's tennis accident last year, which sidelined him for two races early in the 2005 season, was the beginning of the end of the Colombian's F1 career.

"The accident that hurt his shoulder was very counter-productive," Dennis told reporters at Shanghai. "It took that year out of play and created some tensions, but not any that anyone created other than the circumstances that existed as a result of it."

Dennis went on to praise Montoya as a very quick driver adding that, "he brought more colour to the team and to the sport."

Montoya began testing in NASCAR last week after an agreement was finally found with McLaren.
