	WilliamsF1 still in the picture

	With BMW WilliamsF1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya taking victory in the Monaco Grand Prix there is every indication that the team is still very much in the picture when it comes to the final results of the 2003 championships. This is a view that is supported by BMW Motorsport Director Gerhard Berger. In the past Gerard has been far from complimentary in his comments regarding BMW's partner the WilliamsF1 team. But last Sunday's victory has given the team a huge lift which could see them again become major players in the title chace. The BMW WilliamsF1 team is now third in the constructors championship. Berger said: "This is a big boost for the team and has come at a good time. Williams is a very strong, experienced team, but this is good for morale and for the future. We can push harder now. Juan Pablo was very, very good. "I think he has been very fast all year, very strong. There were no mistakes, none at all. He did a perfect job. Monaco is different, of course, but very special. It is a very special race for everyone and great to win. "So this result is very good for the team and the future. It is a long year and there is a long way ahead and I think this team can do more. It is not all over yet by any means. We needed a boost and we got it. So its not a lost cause yet."
