Montoya finished with F1, takes dig at Schumacher
Quote selected text Published by F1 Editor February 19th, 2007 in Formula 1
Juan Pablo Montoya says he has no plans to attempt a return to formula one in the future.
The winner of seven grands prix left the pinnacle of motor sport during a disappointing tenure at McLaren last year, and at the weekend finished outside of the top ten despite massive media interest in his Daytona 500 debut.
But Colombian Montoya, 31, told the Sunday Mirror: “I don’t miss F1 and I have no regrets about leaving. I had options to stay (in 2007).
“F1 is not unfinished business for me and it’s not in my mind to return there.”
Montoya said he will also not miss seven time world champion Michael Schumacher, who has retired.
He told USA Today last week: “Everyone knew I never liked Michael.”

Go Juan!!
Why the need to say so?? Try to be a little bit classy!
His attitude fits perfectly with NASCAR…he loves causing drama!
He got shafted in F1. He was the fastest driver with the best car control and whenever there was a wheel to wheel duel with Schumacher he always got the best of Michael.
It’s F1’s loss….they have no personalities anymore
He was very uneven as a driver. He had good cars, but really failed to be consistently excellent to be a world champion. Just because you hit a hole in one once in a while, doesn’t necessarily make you a good golfer, consistently hitting birdies and eagles every hole does.
thank god he’s gone, he’s an arrogant, un-talented cry baby. he did good
and it was all him, he did bad it was the crew/car/tires etc. never hated a driver
before or since him. he belongs with the drunk hillbillies driving in circles.
