Dennis not worried about drivers' clash

The duo have pushed each other hard in previous races and they will share the fourth row of the grid on Sunday following a disappointing performance in today's qualifying.

Dennis, however, said both drivers had acted cleanly in the previous races and, although he said Montoya and Raikkonen will be reminded to avoid problems, he is confident they will continue to respect each other.

"If anything is going to be said, it's going to be said close enough to the start of the race - that they might remember," said Dennis. "I watched the last Grand Prix on TV several times and especially the opening laps and it was just close.

"None moved on the other - they were both clean. I looked at the previous races and everything they have done is clean and nothing other than you would expect one competitor to do to another.

"We have put our reputation behind, year, after year - giving the guys equal equipment and letting them race, up until it is mathematically impossible for one of them not to win the World Championship. Then we discuss it with them and function as a team.

"It's okay until there is an incident and then we look the idiots and they look like idiots. That hasn't happened yet and we have to stay true to our policy and to ask them to be sensible."

Raikkonen said he would race Montoya as if he was any other driver.

"We try and have as good a race as possible and we have come close to each other but we haven't had any incidents and I don't think it matters who we're racing, it will be the same story," Raikkonen said. "If is someone from another team I'll just try and beat them."
