McLaren were helped by Ferrari's virtual absence from Sunday's race, with
seven-times world champion Schumacher starting from the pit lane after being
demoted from pole in a qualifying controversy that overshadowed the weekend.
His Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa compounded Ferrari's woes by crashing in
the first qualifying session and starting from the back of the grid.
Although Schumacher managed to claw his way back to fifth, that did not
impress Montoya.
"Last year I started last and finished fourth," he said.
Montoya's memory was playing tricks with him, however. Last year he was also
fifth in Monaco, behind Alonso in a race won by Raikkonen.
