Montoya rallies Williams

The Colombian struggled to a fourth-place finish at Barcelona, but has confessed that the team was surprised by its lack of competitiveness in the race. Williams has not won a race since Ralf Schumacher took victory in Malaysia last year.

"I think everybody is surprised at themselves over the lack of performance during the weekend and we need to step up our game," Montoya told AUTOSPORT.

"It is good that we got points out of it for the team, but it will be a big wake-up call for everybody in the team - including the drivers. Everybody wants to step up their game and everybody wants to win again."

Montoya went on to insist that his team must not give up the fight to improve the troublesome FW25 this year. "We have to work to make it better," he said. "You can't just say that is the way it is and just wait until the car is competitive. If you keep waiting and you don't work with the team then it will never happen."
