	Montoya set to stay
	BMW Motorsport Director Gerhard Berger has entered into the discussions regarding the future of current WilliamsF1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya. Berger has made it clear that he sees Juan Pablo's future with the BMW WilliamsF1 Team been very much a long term one. Berger can understand why other teams would be interested in securing the services of Montoya. In an interview with BMW Motorsport Berger said: "I can well imagine that other teams are interested in Montoya." But he added that Juan Pablo is going to be with the WilliamsF1 team for a long time. Berger added: "We have an option on him which is due in summer. He is a very important factor in our team. I think he will be with us for a long time." Berger rates both of the WilliamsF1 drivers very highly. Both are in a position to achieve more success for the team. Berger said: "Both Montoya and Schumacher have potential to become world champion." Currently Montoya lies second in the 2002 Drivers championship and the BMW WilliamsF1 team is in the same position for the Constructors title.
