	Montoya over disappointment

	BMW WilliamsF1 driver Juan-Pablo Montoya was to lose second place and a possible race victory in Canada when his engine failed. This was the second race in which Montoya had to deal with this. He has now admitted that it took him some time to get over the disappointment of his second successive engine retirement in Canada. "A few days have passed since the Canadian Grand Prix and I have finally recovered from the great disappointment," said Montoya. "I feel like some recompense is due for the last two races, where I was denied from picking up a good handful of points. The team has been working hard to address the problems we had and therefore I hope the Nürburgring track will be able to reward our efforts." As for his chances of a good finish in Germany Juan Pablo rates this years car better than the FW23 with which he was able to secure a podium finish in 2001. "It was my second podium of the 2001 season and I had a really good car, but I am confident that we have an even better car this year," he said. "The new modifications to the track are going to be a good challenge as it will mean the circuit is ‘new’ to everyone in the field. I am certain it is going to be an interesting race because there should be more overtaking opportunity than recently."
