Montoya: “Ferrari misses Schumacher”

La Ferrari he doesn't bring home results because he can no longer count on Schumacher.

To affirm it is Juan Pablo Montoya, the former F1 player who occasionally makes his voice heard about what was his world for a few seasons.

“I spoke to Michael once in seven years – he confessed to the German agency DPA – I always considered him an adversary and never a friend. As a McLaren driver I certainly couldn't go out and sit in his motorhome, furthermore compared to IndyCar the top series is a rather closed environment. In any case, I am convinced of one thing, in Maranello they only did well when he was there even if talent is not enough and a competitive car is needed. Was his Mercedes arrival a flop? I don't think he had forgotten how to drive since a single-seater always remains a single-seater."

Finally, a parenthesis on the new tendency to favor suitcases rather than capacity. “I arrived in the Circus with no money and yet I had the chance to race for two leading teams and thus be the protagonist of good battles and several victories. This is something I will never forget and will always be grateful for. Nowadays there is a tendency to promote people who are too young and who perhaps don't have the necessary experience to access the top of motorsport."
