F1: Dennis says Montoya could be back


A/P story at Driving.ca .... (h/t Bourque)

MAGNY COURS, France (AP) - Juan Pablo Montoya could still race in Formula One this season after all.

The Colombian driver left the McLaren team this week after announcing that he was switching to the U.S.-based NASCAR series next season.
However, McLaren chief Ron Dennis said Friday that Montoya is still a McLaren employee and could be back this season.

"Juan Pablo is contracted through to the end of the year," Dennis said at the French Grand Prix. "And if we so choose, he will test and race again."
Asked whether Montoya could race again in F1, Dennis said, "More than possible and with our team."

"He still is contracted to us, unless there is some other commercial arrangement between ourselves and the NASCAR team or Juan himself," Dennis said.
