The dangerous sport of tennis

Juan Pablo Montoya is one of the more spectacular Formula 1 drivers but it seems that he has done himself more damage playing tennis than he has in an F1 car. The Colombian has hurt his shoulder playing tennis and may not be able to race in Bahrain. Given that Mark Webber has been racing with a fractured rib, Montoya ought to be able to race in Bahrain but if not Pedro de la Rosa might be promoted to the race team and Alexander Wurz could then become third driver, if the team has a chassis in which the lanky Austrian can fit.
