Today Montagny turned up for testing in Silverstone, piloting a Toyota. There had been rumors of Montagny signing as Toyota's 3rd driver after it was anounced Zonta would leave.

Toyota's two main test drivers are both leaving, Zonta will become a renault tester, and Panis announced his retirement recently. There has been mounting speculation that Montagny will sign as Toyota's third driver which became apparant today in Silverstone.

The Super Aguri 3rd driver piloted a Toyota around Silverstone, perhaps the team evaluating whether or not he is the right candidate, or maybe negotiations have gone much further.
