Gilles Villeneuve: If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Montoya was very exciting to watch in F1. He was not intimidated, and really enjoyed the racing and the competition.
Too bad F1's aren't unbreakable :lol:

I guess all the pit- passing and strategy in F1 never really appealed to him...

Came out fighting indeed.

Nah, he was just getting too chubby, so he quit and went to the American-sized wide-assed Nastycars where he fits better :twisted:

Montoya was great to watch and a fantastic racer, but ultimately lacked the physical conditioning and consistency to be a regular race winner and world champion.

Apparently got tired of the F1 fans calling him chubby... to NASCAR fans he must look bullimic

Translation for racechick: this is code for being too fat and lazy to make it in F1 :mrgreen:

There were moments when it was very exciting to watch Juan Pablo, but I personally feel that the Schumacher-Hakkinen rivalry was much better.

I enjoyed the days of Montoya and Schumacher. Montoya was an unpredictable driver who made it very exciting for young viewers. I think that this was one of the reasons I got into F1 and why he was my favourite driver until he left for NASCAR

No more James Allen

And with it went his Michelin company the next year

He was a good Michelin Man.

Now does that mean he was good with Michelins or did he look like the Michelin man? :hehe:
