Pollock: Villeneuve-Montoya dispute is finished.
BAR boss Craig Pollock has urged the media to stop going on about the scrap between Jacques Villeneuve and Juan Pablo Montoya and to let them get on with the job in hand - racing.
Pollock told Reuters: "It's something that should be avoided. But in my mind both team principals have addressed it with the drivers. Montoya confronted Jacques before the drivers' briefing and Jacques grabbed hold of Montoya after he said something he shouldn't have said. But, as far as I am concerned, now it is finished."

According to reports in the British press the situation arose after Montoya claimed Villeneuve had brake-tested him during practice for the Canadian GP. The Colombian then got into an argument with the 1997 World Champion in which it has been alleged he made a reference to the incident in Australia when a marshal was killed. (According to reports on Monday the Williams driver said: "F*** you, you have already killed someone this season"). Something Montoya has subsequently denied.
