Juan Pablo M💞ontoya insists that the injury that kept him out of the Bahrain and San Marino GPs really was the re💟sult of fall during a game of tennis, contrary to rumours that suggested he might just have fallen off a motorcycle.

The Colombian has made his return to the paddock in Spain for the first t😼ime si𒆙nce the incident, which happened in Madrid in the week after the Malaysian GP.

"I heard all kinds of stories," he said, "but I think the story came up to be honest because a lot of people think that in most of the drivers' c🅠ontracts we're not allowed to do anything, so everybody thought we have a great story, he's breaking his contract𝓀. Funnily enough, that's not the way it is.

"It was tennis. 🤪I would rather say it was on a bike than tennis, it sounds kind of dumb, but that's the way it went."

Montoya says that he doesn't expect to have any pౠroblems this weekend.

"I was in England the day before yesterday and we checked and the crack and that it could stanꦰd everything,2 he said. "It looks very good, you know. McLaren has got a simulator and we went in it. I had full steering movements, so it's cool. Tomorrow morning they [the FIA] want to check everything, but I'm pretty happy.

"It's nice to see the team still scoring points and everything, but 🦋it's great to be back."
