It was also in Gerry Donaldson's J.V. book about him using it for Spa.

I think Jacques learned that outside pass that he embarrassed Schumacher

That's Montoya for you. About the only time I've seen him not acting like a 12
year old is when he's talking about his car. OTOH, the only times I've seen him
in person was at the Naz in the pits. Still, he's got all the youthful
exuberance of a 12 year old who's living a dream. Given what he's achieved so
far, I suppose that's close to the truth.
