NEWS Missing pole is 'a shame' - Montoya
DRIVERS STANDING
07-03-2004

It's a mark of how far Jenson Button and BAR-Honda have come this season when fourth on the grid is ''disappointing. I wanted top three,'' he bemoaned.

Button, 24, said McLaren's sudden turn of qualifying pace - with David Coulthard and the 'B spec' car in third - ''is a bit interesting. It is, isn't it ... ?''

Team principal Dave Richards thinks France - with the top eleven qualifiers within one second - might be 'the most unpredictable' grand prix of the season.

* BMW-Williams' Juan Pablo Montoya could not build on his impressive 'provisional pole' of the first session and lines-up just sixth in the FW26.

''It's a shame,'' said the Colombian.

''I had a lot of problems in the practice,'' Montoya - who was quickest in the lap's first sectors before a big mistake - added, ''so I'm glad we solved it.''

Ralf Schumacher's Spanish stand-in Marc Gene (8th) found it tricky to adjust to the one-lap qualifying format - ''I made a mistake,'' the test driver admitted.
