IKR, was thinking about the incident with Villeneuve where he saw him, turned away, realised he couldn’t let him past and turned in on him. Michael was a great driver but often put his rivals in positions where the choices were yield or have a crash.
My Favourite Driver to ever race in F1. Montaya was one of the only drivers to take the fight to Schumacher. He was so aggressive and a real racer. F1 was never the same after Montaya left. The days of actual racing came to an end a few years after.
No doubt and Of course more wins, that could had been but when you're Robbed by the maFIA creating obstacles from L, R and center, Fiddlerrai was one Team for one car only, and car reliability narrowed his chances and ultimately his early retirement from F1. This not only for him but for any real racing driver.
For those wondering why the Ferrari looked like that in the 2001 Monza race, they (and just about all of the teams) were paying tribute to the victims of 9/11
Absolutely one of the best drivers in F1 history. He was so fun to watch and made the F1 races interesting. I'm still a JP Montoya fan and hope he gets another Indy 500 win.
I could say that Montoya is among the 10 best drivers in history without titles: Fast, brave, risky ( The modern Gilles Villeneuve) I think he lacked more reliability in his cars: the 2003 season for example.
He's in the 10 best all time for me. Just because he won everything. Indycar? Wins. F1? Wins. NASCAR? Wins. IMSA? Wins. There ain't anything he can't win in. Schumacher probably couldn't win in nascar or indycar in his prime
De aquellos pilotos que merecieron por lo menos un título de Campeón de mundo... Talento de sobra, no he visto un piloto con más huevos que el Colombiano
Everybody praises Hakkinen as the biggest rival of Michael Schumacher but for me, the truly exciting was the battle Michael-Montoya. Juan Pablo was a mad dog, utterly brilliant at times.

Great driver, and one of the few in that era that would pass on track instead of waiting for the pit stops He certainly livened up one of the dullest periods in F1 history
Beautiful video of the most talented champion in the world of motors after Ayrton Senna. Even the millimeter overtaking at the bus stop at SPA is certainly another unique and unrepeatable masterpiece of his incomparable genius.
The best moments of Formula 1 since Senna were with Montoya onboard against Schumacher/ Alonso/Raikkonen.. then new age of Hamilton came but with Montoya was an unique and emotional inspiring age, he turned on so many young enthusiasts and young drivers into motorsport, thank you Montoya for bringing this to Formula one and to motor sport, it still needs more like this, you are one of the legends in Formula 1 you are pretty big! UNIQUE
Really wish people would remember him more than his jet dryer crash in 2012, he’s really a great driver. Not many can driver F1, NASCAR, Indycar, and more in their lives
After Michael Schumacher retired he said in an interview that the only driver he ever feared was Montoya. He gave Montoya a huge amount of respect for his skill.
*Montoya overtakes Hamilton with one of his classic maneuvers* Hamilton: help, that bad man tried to get me off the track with foul play, I want my mommy *Cry on the radio*
Despite him being a great rival of my idol Michael, I've always adored Montoya. He was and still is a breath of fresh air. Much like Kimi & now Max Verstappen, brutal honesty. Regarding the Malaysia Drive Through...even Schumacher after the race said it was ridiculous Montoya got the penalty and said he (michael) was in the wrong himself...

Mi viejo, hasta me compraron su monoplaza de niño. Este man es una chimba. Hahaha es que mi viejo salió entrenado de tanto manejar en el trafico y caos de Bogotá.
jajajaja parce con ese tráfico y con los buseteros de los 90s el hombre tenía habilidad, paciencia y agresividad.
Y por el autódromo, la única ciudad que ofrece esa opción en este peladero de país. Bogotá lo único que vale la pena en este circo
Great driver, and one of the few in that era that would pass on track instead of waiting for the pit stops
He certainly livened up one of the dullest periods in F1 history
This was by far the best era of F1.
Beautiful video of the most talented champion in the world of motors after Ayrton Senna. Even the millimeter overtaking at the bus stop at SPA is certainly another unique and unrepeatable masterpiece of his incomparable genius.
The best moments of Formula 1 since Senna were with Montoya onboard against Schumacher/ Alonso/Raikkonen.. then new age of Hamilton came but with Montoya was an unique and emotional inspiring age, he turned on so many young enthusiasts and young drivers into motorsport, thank you Montoya for bringing this to Formula one and to motor sport, it still needs more like this, you are one of the legends in Formula 1 you are pretty big! UNIQUE
I love this guy! One of my inspirations growing up racing!
Such flair and personality. I adored watching this fella in F1. He's amazing!
Really wish people would remember him more than his jet dryer crash in 2012, he’s really a great driver. Not many can driver F1, NASCAR, Indycar, and more in their lives
Pra mim, o melhor piloto sem título na F1, Montoya é monstro!!
He was just amazing to watch . I would wake up early just watch him race . That penalty was not his fault
His incident with Schumacher was hilarious
wich one?
@@djfilipson7700 haha
Ohh you didnt see me 😆😆😆
My favorite driver of all time, and will always be
Montoya deserved the 2003 championship. He is a great driver.
After Michael Schumacher retired he said in an interview that the only driver he ever feared was Montoya. He gave Montoya a huge amount of respect for his skill.
If Hamilton had to race a against Montoya, he would cry on the radio every time
*Montoya overtakes Hamilton with one of his classic maneuvers*
Hamilton: help, that bad man tried to get me off the track with foul play, I want my mommy *Cry on the radio*
@Arty Hamilton wouldn't dare having Montoya in the same team.
It was Montoya's fault for leaving F1. His decision to whither away in Nascar for 9 years
+1
Verstappen too...😅
Absolutely
That overtaken in Brazil 2001 was just Incredible
Despite him being a great rival of my idol Michael, I've always adored Montoya. He was and still is a breath of fresh air. Much like Kimi & now Max Verstappen, brutal honesty.
Regarding the Malaysia Drive Through...even Schumacher after the race said it was ridiculous Montoya got the penalty and said he (michael) was in the wrong himself...
Im Colombian and for us Montoya was the reason why the F1 became an a important sport. Lets hope we can have other driver like him, he deserved a World title
I loved Montoya but the most amazing thing I remember wasn't in F1, it was when he caught a 200mph+ slide in Indycar. Superhuman reaction speed.
What a driver, loved to see him driving! Saludos desde Brasil a toda la gente de Colombia 🇧🇷🇨🇴
