Juan Pablo Montoya:
"The Malaysian Grand Prix is going to be quite an interesting race
especially because with the expected very hot weather the tyres should work
quite well. The FW23 can be competitive in both, wet or dry conditions so I
am not bothered about which weather we are going to have in Malaysia. Our
car has great potential - even if we are at the start of the season and we
need to do some more work on all areas of the car but as the season goes on
we believe that it should be much faster. I have never raced on the Sepang
circuit and it looks a quite difficult circuit to learn but I think we
should be all right. I have spent the last week watching on-board camera
recordings of last year's race, I've studied the telemetry data and have
also driven many laps on video games ! I feel ready for it."
He's already said he likes PC games, GPL his favourite and he used to like
GP2 he said, maybe he has some Malaysia addons for GP3??
Other than that could be F12K or uggg....Playstation :-)
Juan da mon!

Juan Pablo Montoya looks like he'll be putting in an intensive evening on
the PlayStation after still failing to set a representative lap time

Well it would be nice if Williams could put a car under him that ran for
more than one lap without breaking down.

Go check his qualifying performance. Not bad for a track he'd never driven
at before and all the mechanical problems in practice sessions. :-)
note to self*
get playstation asap!

Hey no need to tell me about his talent, been a fan of his since F3000! :)

Yep, I hear ya. I'm pretty pleased so far- I kept thinking back to
Zanardi's poor showing and I was a little nervous, but it looks like JPM is
going to do well. :)

talented he is in CART?

>talented he is in CART?hi,
my theory is that certain drivers are really not that great in all
types of race cars. other drivers are just that much more talented
and versatile that they can race in different vehicles and be
competitive.
examples of the latter are, Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Jacques
Villeneuve, Robby Gordon (I think, but then I may be overexpecting).
others like Zanardi, Michael Andretti and some of the other F1 drivers
who went to Indycars, are extremely talented in one discipline, but
just can't reach the same level in others. Its a pity. Whatever
Michael achieves in Indycars (and it is substantial already) will
always be tempered when compared to his dad's successes.
just to keep this on topic and related to the thread let me add that I
thought that Montoya is showing definite signs of greatness. he had a
fantastic start at melbourne, but overcooked it into the first corner.
his qualifying performance at sepang was very good and if you saw the
last 15 minutes of qualifying you know what I mean. The last few
minutes were enough to drop a top six lap time into a 11th or 12th.
Montoya is also probably not that experienced in all the weather
conditions that formula one is raced under. Hope he has GP3
installed. :)
Here's my dollar, can I have 98 cents change please.
Regards,
Ian
