Red Bull and Montoya
The energy drink-owned team's racing 'advisor', Helmut Marko, admitted that Red Bull should be looking for a lineup in 2007 to complement the increasingly top-line technical/budget package.
''We already have top engineers and a top (Ferrari) engine, so we now also need appropriate drivers for this,'' he told 'Kleinen Zeitung' newspaper.
Montoya, 30, is perhaps more strongly linked with Fernando Alonso's vacant 2007 Renault ride, but Red Bull team principal Christian Horner didn't exactly deny the gossip out of hand in the Sepang paddock.
''To be honest, at the moment, I can't see that (Montoya) would give us anything more than we already have,'' he told the Independent.
Horner said David Coulthard and Christian Klien make up a 'very good' formula one pairing.
