A recent issue of Haymarket's F1 Magazine had a cover shot featuring Juan Pablo Montoya in West McLaren Mercedes overalls, and sporting the sort of grin the Colombian hasn't worn since much earlier in the year.

'Sneak Preview - Montoya at McLaren', ran the headline.

Unfortunately the picture - which was merely a Photoshop special and not for real - caused problems both at Woking and Grove.

WilliamsF1 were unhappy that Montoya had appeared to visit Woking for a photoshoot with his new team, while McLaren were equally unhappy that their Grove rivals might leap to the same, albeit wrong, conclusion.
