Montoya wins Italian Grand Prix

MONZA, Italy -- Juan Montoya won Sunday's Italian Grand Prix on a somber day of auto racing at a track that is usually among the most boisterous in the sport.

The Colombian won for the first time in Formula One in a race preceded by an aborted action by drivers in which a no-passing rule was proposed.

The race was subdued not only because of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington but because of Saturday's CART race in Germany in which star driver Alex Zanardi lost both his legs.

"I'm glad this weekend is over," world championship driver Michael Schumacher said.

Montoya displayed a black band on his white-and-blue overalls at the victory ceremony.

Fans quietly applauded, with few flags waving and few horns playing -- a restrained response suggested by Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo. One man waved a U.S. flag from the stands.

Montoya, a former CART champion in his first Formula One season, won in a Williams BMW -- 5.1 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello. Ralf Schumacher, in a second Williams BMW, was third. Michael Schumacher, his fourth season title already assured, was fourth.

"It was a great day for me, because my father was here and it was his birthday. ... Just one year ago I had my last win in a CART race," Montoya said.
