Montoya confident for San Marino race

After qualifying for the San Marino Grand Prix, even though he could only manage third fastest grid position, Juan Pablo is confident that he can perform well in this afternoon's race.

Montoya commented on his qualifying and how the team added extra fuel to his car prior to his second run.

He said: "We took little fuel in the first qualifying because we wanted to run last and as you see, the track got better and it worked quite well for us. I think we've got a very good race car.

"I was actually lacking pace on new tyres and with the work we did it seemed to come to me a little bit. I'm very pleased to be honest. I think we have a very strong race car.

"It will be interesting to see what happens really with Jenson. I think it's going to be a close battle. He put up a lot of good laps today but I think in the race it's going to be a lot closer.

"The track was getting so much quicker and then you see Jenson's time and you go, like: 'Jesus Christ! Where am I going to pull the time.' He did a bloody good job but I definitely think we're in the game."
