Juan-Pablo Slams Button

Juan Pablo Montoya has branded F1 rival Jenson Button 'pretty stupid' for constantly changing his mind about where to race. The always blunt Colombian agrees with Eddie Jordan's description of the 25-year-old Englishman as 'tainted goods'. "Probably for him, it will change a lot -- the way people regard contracts with him," the 30-year-old told ITV. "If people start disregarding their contracts, that's bad."

Montoya insists that, even though McLaren's form looked woeful last year, he stuck to his contract and switched to the Woking based camp for 2005. "Now everyone says 'you made a great move' even though last year they said I was stupid! I respect my contracts and I always will. Last year, Button wanted to leave BAR and now suddenly it's the other way round. I don't know, it's pretty stupid."
