Michael Schumacher praises Montoya.

Three times world champion Michael Schumacher has insisted he has no problem with Juan Pablo Montoya and that Colombian is a top driver.

The German said: "As far as I can see, the media is trying to build up a rivalry between us two, but a war of words is not something I like. I prefer to fight on the track. Furthermore, I would say that Montoya is a good driver and he has proved that already several times."

Schumacher added that he would not be flying to Fiorano on Friday as he did last year for a final shake down. He said: "We already have sufficient data from last week. Last year we still used a manual start, but that has now changed. (Luca) Badoer will do the Fiorano shakedown."
