Montoya: I should have been on row two.

Juan Pablo Montoya admitted he should have gone better in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix after securing a place on the fourth row of the grid in Montreal.

The McLaren driver was unable to match the pace of team-mate Kimi Raikkonen after making an error during the final top ten shootout - the Colombian admitting afterwards that he was disappointed with the way the final session had panned out.

"The first two parts of qualifying were very good for me," he said. "However I pushed a little bit too hard in the last run and made a mistake at the chicane which cost me a lot of time - I think without this I probably would have been on the second row with Kimi. This is quite frustrating as overall my car was pretty good today. Anyway I'm relaxed and I will look at my options and see what happens to put myself in the best position during the race."

Although he had hoped to see Montoya higher up the grid, 2005 race winner Raikkonen will start to the race from third behind the two Renaults, and team boss Ron Dennis said it was an indication that the team was making the right steps forwards.

"Our weekend so far has unfolded pretty much as expected," he said. "Slowly but surely the competitiveness of the team is improving. Whilst Juan Pablo's grid position could have been a little better, our race strategy should contribute to a strong result for both cars."
