Montagny's first race...

... unfortunately ended in a retirement.

The Super Aguri reserve driver is now hoping to get another chance at Spain this weekend, and possibly even at Monaco. With the tight twisty lanes of Monaco a nightmare for the rookies, Yuji Ide is unlikely to be granted permission to race until he has more practice in a F1 car.

The choice between Ide and Montagny is a no-brainer really, but Super Aguri have a lot of sponsorship riding on the "All Japanese" driver line up, and it may be difficult for Montagny to race more than an odd race now and then this season.

The choice of Super Aguri second driver is to be made in the next couple of days after Aguri Suzuki, the team owner is through with some important meetings with the sponsors.
