The latest speculation in the Formula One pitlane is that Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya's absence from the McLar🐻en cockpit in this weekend's Bahrain GP has nothing to do with the official line of a tennis accident.

According to paddock insiders, passing on unsubstantiated rumours, Montoya did not in fact injure himself in that highly dangerous game, tennis; rather he fell o💎ff his Harley Davidson motorbike.

Riding a motorbike is widely acknowledged as being a more dangerous game than tennis and it's certain𓄧ly more understandable that a racing driver could put themselves out of action for a race weekend from an 🦩incident involving a powerful bike rather than one involving a racket and ball.

Nothing has been c🐟onfirmed at present, but there's sure to be more to come...
