JPM anf RS are the same age. RS started his F1 career at a younger age than
JPM and was not in one of the two best cars on the grid like Montoya has
been in his first two seasons. Montoya also was a F1 test driver and F3000
driver so he did have experience in F1 along with all his CART career beofre
he joined Williams. I can only imagine how JPM would of driven in F1 five
years ago.
