Montoya’s Merc in trouble too

With Kimi Raikkonen believed to be in technical trouble, his McLaren teammate Juan Pablo Montoya may also be demoted ten places on the Bahrain grid after a glitch was found on his Mercedes V8.

Some reports from the Sakhir circuit, however, suggest that 26-year-old Raikkonen's problem could be isolated to the electrics, with a new engine not definitely necessary.

The necessity of Montoya's change, too, has also not been confirmed.
