Juan Pablo Montoya no correrá en Bahrein, anuncia la escudería McLaren

Una serie de exámenes médicos realizados por consejo del equipo médico de McLaren revelaron que el accidente le provocó una pequeña fisura en el omoplato izquierdo.

Ante ese cuadro, los consultores médicos de la escudería aconsejaron al colombiano guardar reposo para permitir una rápida recuperación de la fisura.

"Estoy muy frustrado por no poder competir. Pero la Fórmula 1 es un trabajo duro y sería imposible conducir bien con la lesión. Aunque sea difícil para mí, tengo que seguir el consejo de los expertos médicos. Voy a tratar de pasarla bien por unas semanas y ser un hincha de la escudería", dijo Montoya al sitio web oficial de McLaren.

Montoya agregó que esperaba "poder volver a la actividad lo más rápidamente posible. Por lo menos, es el inicio de la temporada y muchas cosas pueden ocurrir, de modo que no pienso que mis posibilidades en el campeonato mundial se hayan desvanecido".

El piloto será sometido a nuevos exámenes en dos semanas para verificar su recuperación, aunque los médicos opinan que Montoya no tendría problemas en conducir su McLaren en el próximo Gran Premio de la temporada, el de San Marino, en Imola, el 24 de abril.

En el lugar de Montoya, en Bahrein correrá el español Pedro de la Rosa con el mismo modelo MP4-20, al tiempo que el tercer auto de la escudería estará bajo la responsabilidad del austríaco Alexander Wurz.

Por su parte, el director de la escudería, Ron Dennis, los expertos del equipo "estarán acompañando constantemente el progreso de Juan Pablo en las próximas semanas y queremos tenerlo de vuelta en su auto lo más rápido que sea posible".

Dennis agregó que "es en momentos como éste que el papel de Pedro (De la Rosa) y Alex (Wurz) se hace crucial en el equipo, y tengo la total confianza que tendrán desempeños sólidos". De la Rosa ya condujo en ensayos unos 2.168 kilómetros con el modelo MP4-20.

English McLaren's Juan Pablo Montoya could miss next Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix after injuring his shoulder playing tennis on Saturday.

"He just slipped and fell on his shoulder. He has got a hairline crack in his shoulder and a certain amount of tissue damage," a McLaren spokesman said on Sunday.

Montoya, fourth in Malaysia a week ago and tied for third in the season standings with eight points, is waiting for the injury to stabilise before having tests in the next few days.

McLaren said a decision on whether Montoya will race in Bahrain is likely on Thursday.

If the Colombian cannot race his seat will almost certainly go to Spanish reserve driver Pedro de la Rosa.

Fellow test driver Alexander Wurz is too tall to fit into the current version of the team's MP4-20 chassis.

Montoya is currently awaiting the birth of his first child, which is due within the next few weeks.

I heard a rumor today that he actually crashed on his Harley. Honestly, it sounds more believable than hurting his shoulder playing tennis.

Does sound more plausible. I suppose his contract doesn't allow him to ride, hence the tennis story.
