Free agent after 2004
 
In the Thursday Press Conference at the US GP Juan Pablo was asked about the rumours that have him leaving WilliamsF1 to join McLaren. Even though he made it clear that he expects to be driving for WilliamsF1 in 2004 he did not commit himself to anything beyond next year.

Montoya & Championship RivalsThe stories have Juan Pablo looking to get out of his current contract with WilliamsF1 to join McLaren.

Juan Pablo said: 'First of all, I have a Williams contract that goes to '04 ... after that I'm a free agent. As far as I know I'm driving for Williams next year.'

Montoya's desire to move is based on the reports that he is far from happy with the financial situation at the team with Ralf Schumacher earning nearly three times as much money as him.

As for if it was the case that he was trying to get out of his WilliamsF1 contract Juan Pablo did little to dispel the rumours by replying "Not really" when questioned if he was looking to get out of his contract.
