Berger not interested in Montoya

Toro Rosso's co-owner Gerhard Berger believes the Red Bull team should not be interested in signing Juan Pablo Montoya if the Colombian leaves McLaren

Montoya, whose contract with McLaren ends at the end of the year, is yet to announce his plans for the future, but he has been linked with a move to the Red Bull Racing team.

But Berger believes that unless Red Bull can sign Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso or Kimi Raikkonen, the team should opt for five other drivers who are all younger than Montoya.

"If you cannot lay hands on a Michael Schumacher, Alonso or Raikkonen, then you must have some of the five young drivers of tomorrow, and Montoya is not among them in my opinion," said Berger.

"Those five, without order, are Kovalainen, Rosberg, Kubica, Speed and Liuzzi."

And although Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has dropped hints that he would like to lure Schumacher away from Ferrari, Berger believes the move is unlikely to happen.

"I cannot foresee Didi (Mateschitz) to lure away Michael from Ferrari with money straight away," he added.

"Only when there is a situation that Michael would be no longer happy there or Raikkonen is coming over and Michael does not wish to drive with him or if Michael would like to jump on the new Newey era here, then Didi Mateschitz would start to think about making an offer for Schumacher.

"But the basic goals for both Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso must be to work with drivers out of our own pool."
