Montoya: We’ll see the sparks fly

Juan Pablo Montoya, former Formula 1, IndyCar and NASCAR driver, is following developments on the World Cup circuits with interest, as it is difficult to predict who will win the title and the Constructors’ Championship this year. By the way, Montoya, who once distinguished himself by his aggressive fighting style, recognizes some of his own qualities in Max Verstappen.

“Everyone wants Lando to improve and Max to push even more actively, but if these two continue to clash and the Ferrari drivers finish in the first two places, they can take a lot of points from them,” the Colombian reasoned. “I believe this will all continue until the end of the season, and we will see an incredibly interesting fight for the Constructors’ Championship.

The McLaren team is performing very well, Red Bull is in a difficult position and before the start of the next race weekend we cannot say who will win this time: Red Bull, McLaren or Ferrari.

Before qualifying we don’t know how it will end and that increases the spectacle. While previous fans always complained that Formula 1 had become too predictable, that is not the case at all now.

Lando has done a great job of rallying the team around him, but I think everyone hopes he can add more and McLaren can increase the speed of the car. If Norris had such a car from the beginning of the year, then this team could probably beat Max… At the same time, it seems to me that Max is somewhat similar to me.

I think Lando has grown a lot as a professional, but to beat Verstappen he needs to be in reasonably comfortable conditions, and then he can let his opponent know how far Max can go against him.

But Verstappen will keep doing what he is doing and I think we will see sparks fly in the remaining races. But it will be really fun!”
