Maybe Michael has changed, mellowed since he left F1 but if he hasnt I would not have thought him to be a good candidate for handling a fund to promote safety. This is the guy who :-
-drove into a title contender -twice-deliberately
-Instigated the now banned dangerous tactic of weaving across the track to block
-closed the door to peolpe overtaking
-put competitors on the grass at high speed (Alonso, silverstone comes to mind)
-Parked the car in quali to keep pole
None of the above do much for the safety of drivers. Perhaps this role would be better taken by someone who adhered to safe behaviour and consideration and respect for competitors when they drove. Prost, Hill, Hakinnen spring to mind immediately.

Not Mr. Chubby?

Dear Juan Pablo,

Did you switch to Nascar simply because Alonso was booting you out of your race seat for 07, like you did to David Coulthard in 05? Not fancy a Red Bull or a Torro Rosso drive?

Ha Ha !! Well he didnt get booted out by Alonso, he would have partnered him (Oh joy that would have bin such fun!! Can you imagine Juan when Alonso pulled his stunts and sulked-he'd have run rings round him!) The down side is Lewis wouldnt have got the drive.

Fiction. Hamilton was to get a race seat in 2007. Montoya was quietly given the elbow from McLaren due to his manifest incompetence.

Wasn't it that he faced the boot from Mclaren anyways due to Lewis?

Rubbish! McLaren were in complete indecision as to whether Lewis got the drive. Even Pedro was in the picture. they wanted Lewis to have a drive in an easy team first. I was SCREAMING at them to take Lewis and then luckily they did but it was certainly not a foregone conclusion
Oh and there was no elbow given to Juan. He was gone the Monday after that race. And he was NOT incompetent!!!

I have a friend who is a massive Kimi fan, who went off his head when Montoya crashed out in Spa 05, claims that cost Mclaren the WCC. I dno bout that but it was funny.

Was that THE race? Things didnt always work out for him (the broken shoulder didnt help) But when he was on form he was stunning. In CART and F1.
You could say Alonso lost McLaren last years WCC, or Lewis, or Ferrari, or Jean Todt, or Max Mosely depends how you look at it.

Think it was a mixture of all of those factors. And I agree with you, Montoya didn't do that, but my friends thought so, but he knows nothing bout f1, one of those who jump on the band wagon

They all played a part in it. Some more than others, but all did things that negatively affected McLaren's title fights.

Don't get my started with Montoya, waste of time quite frankly and with a temper as short as my bottom.
