Bored Formula One observers spent much of the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend speculating how the absent Juan Pablo Montoya's shoulder injury really came about - and the talking point has now prompted others to suggest further uses for the supposed causes.

McLaren's official line was that the Colombian injured himself while playing tennis, but seasoned sceptics prefer the alternative version, which insists that Montoya was actually indulging in something a little more spectacular at the time of his supposed fall. With suggestions ranging from a Harley Davidson to a more humble motocrosser, motorbikes feature heavily in the more popular rumours, with Montoya still doubtful for the San Marino Grand Prix in three weeks' time.

The incident, however, has also provided a useful subject for Crash.net's resident cartoonist John Mockett, who smiles at the thought of certain drivers being on the receiving end of 'presents' resembling those implements rumoured to have sidelined McLaren's latest signing.
