Everything about Juan Pablo Montoya totally explained
Juan Pablo Montoya Roldán (born
September 20,
1975, in
Bogotá,
Colombia) is a
race car driver in
NASCAR for
Chip Ganassi Racing and a former
Formula One and IndyCar driver. He has enjoyed great success, most famously in top
open wheel racing series.
The highlights of his career include winning the
International F3000 championship in 1998, and the
CART Championship Series in 1999, as well as victories in some of the most prestigious races in the world. He is the only driver to have won the premier North American open-wheel
CART title, the
Indianapolis 500 and the
24 Hours of Daytona, all at the first attempt. Montoya is one of two drivers to have won the CART title in his
rookie year, the other driver being
Nigel Mansell. He has also equalled
Graham Hill's feat of being a
Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 race winner; Montoya is currently the only active driver who has won two legs of the
Triple Crown of Motorsport.
Montoya has also become a crossover race winner by taking victories in
Formula One,
Champ Car,
IndyCar,
Grand-Am and
NASCAR; the only other driver to accomplish such a feat is
Mario Andretti. Montoya is also the only driver to have competed in all three major events at
Indianapolis, the
Indianapolis 500, the
US Grand Prix, and the
Brickyard 400.
Early career
He was born in
Bogotá where he was taught the techniques of
karting from an early age by his father Pablo, an architect and
motorsport enthusiast.
Montoya moved to the Copa
Formula Renault Series in 1992. The same year, he also participated in a
U.S. series operated by
Skip Barber. 1993 saw Montoya switch to the Swift GTI Championship, a series he dominated by winning seven of eight races. The following year, 1994, was a very busy year for the 19-year-old Colombian, as it saw him race in three separate series: the Sudam 125 Karting, USA Barber Saab, and Formula N in
Mexico (a series in which he won the title). As his success continued year after year, Montoya came to be known for his uncanny ability to win
pole positions (as well as races), in some cases taking 80% of a
season's poles (see Career results below). For the next three years, Montoya raced in various divisions, continually progressing upward. He raced in the 1995
British Formula
Vauxhall Championship, and in the 1996 British
Formula 3 with
Fortec Motorsport, as well as taking part in events in
Zandvoort,
Netherlands and
Silverstone.
Entry into top open-wheel series
As a young driver living in
Austria Juan Pablo Montoya struggled to save enough money for his basic needs. At this stage of his life he recalls having no money even for public transport; instead he used roller blades to go from one place to another. Retirement from motorsport seemed likely, but an opportunity to compete in the 1997
Formula 3000 season was the break he was looking for. He finished second in the championship in his rookie season, and
Williams noticed his potential, signing him to a multi-year contract from 1998. Alongside his Formula One testing duties for Williams he competed again in F3000 and took the title in a close contest with
Nick Heidfeld.
CART career
1999
Renault,
Williams engine supplier for most of the 1990s, left Formula One at the end of the 1997 season. With no major engine suppliers available, Williams were forced to sign a contract to run customer engines for the 1998 and 1999 seasons. In 1998 the team failed to win a race for the first time in a decade. For the 1999 season, in the hope of attracting more investors to the underperforming team,
Frank Williams agreed a driver swap with CART team owner
Chip Ganassi, in which Ganassi's 1997 and 1998 CART champion driver,
Alessandro Zanardi, would return to
Formula One and Montoya would take his place in the competitive American series.
While Zanardi had a miserable year in Formula One, Montoya, with
Honda power and a great
Reynard chassis at his disposal, took the American motorsport scene by storm. He took the 1999 title in his
rookie year, something accomplished six years earlier by former
Formula One Champion Nigel Mansell.
The season that saw Montoya crowned as the youngest ever
CART FedEx Championship Series Champion at the age of 24 was closely fought, especially with
Dario Franchitti who led the championship going into the final race in California. Both drivers finished the season with equal number of points but having won seven races to the Scotsman's three decided the title in the Colombian's favor. However, the CART rookie also attracted criticism - notably from
Michael Andretti and his team - for his aggressive style of driving.
Montoya still had a contractual relationship with Williams and after his impressive rookie season the
Grove-based team were keen for him to drive for them in Formula One. However, the young Colombian decided to race in the US for one more year.
2000
In 2000 the Ganassi team switched to
Toyota engines and
Lola chassis. The package was strong for ovals and high speed tracks, but was less well suited to street and most road circuits. Toyota’s engines were not yet reliable and often failed the team. Despite this, Montoya led more laps than anyone else and took the maiden victory for a Toyota engine in the series. He was also the most popular driver, but in a season where he failed to finish in 40% of the races, he was out of contention for the championship.
That season the Ganassi team also competed in the prestigious
Indianapolis 500 race, part of the rival
Indy Racing League series. Media and drivers were critical of the way Juan Pablo approached the
Brickyard, many IRL drivers labelled him as reckless and predicted an early retirement from the race. The media activity around the event was intense, with Montoya and his CART teammate
Jimmy Vasser being the first CART drivers to "cross-over" to drive in the Indy 500. Despite public warnings from two-time Indy 500 winner
Al Unser, Jr. claiming that if a driver doesn't respect the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the place "will bite you - hard" Montoya shrugged off the advice claiming that all four corners were exactly the same and that the track required less attention than the road courses in the CART series and in European racing.
In the event, the Colombian star led 167 of 200 laps and claimed top honours at the end of the 500 mile race, taking an easy victory on his first attempt. He was the first to do so since Formula One World Champion
Graham Hill in 1966 and was the first Colombian winner. His compatriot
Roberto José Guerrero had previously finished twice as runner up.
Montoya also won CART's equivalent of the Indy 500, the U.S 500. Juan's victory marked his ninth and Toyota's first win in the CART (
Champ Car World Series)series.

Over the weekend of the 2000 Indianapolis 500,
Williams-BMW announced a two year deal for Montoya to partner
Ralf Schumacher starting in 2001. His entrance was very much anticipated by the Formula One community due to the talent and raw speed showed in the Americas based series.
Montoya showed great potential from the beginning. Critics and fans alike anticipated that he'd challenge for the
World Drivers' Championship. During the first half of his Formula One career he consolidated his position as a fast driver and a race win challenger and also became a title contender during 2003 but the hopes of fighting for the title gradually faded as stronger and more consistent challengers arrived on the scene.
Montoya has been criticized during his Formula One career for his unreliability and tendency to make costly mistakes. His driving style is too characteristic of the
80's Formula One era. In this matter it's difficult to build a car that suits him well as
engineers and
aerodynamicists have adapted their work to build
chassis that are more appropriate to a more fine and soft, and perhaps less live, driving style.
Entering his sixth season, in
2006, it was evident that Juan Pablo Montoya hadn't developed into the title contender that racing fans and the media had predicted. In particular after five full seasons the necessary consistency never materialised. However, he often challenged for race victories and was voted top
Latin American driver at the Premios
Fox Sports awards in 2003 and 2005
2001 - Williams
Montoya made his Formula One debut for the
BMW-powered Williams team in the
2001 Formula One season at the
Australian Grand Prix. Less than a month later, he shocked
Michael Schumacher — and the F1 world — in
Brazil by overtaking the
World Champion in a daring move. Montoya was on course to win the race when backmarker
Jos Verstappen collided with him. Verstappen claimed he did brake earlier than normal. Two races later, the diffuser of the Williams was forbidden by the FIA as it was said to kill the downforce of cars behind. In his first season in Formula One Montoya established himself as a natural racer and a favorite with fans and commentators. Although Williams struggled with reliability that year — Montoya only finished six races — he nevertheless won three pole positions and stood on the podium four times, including his maiden Formula One victory at the
2001 Italian Grand Prix at
Monza.
2002
In the
2002 Formula One season, Montoya was the best of the rest as
Ferrari's dominance left available no better place than third. Schumacher and
Rubens Barrichello won 15 of 17 races. Although he didn't win a race, unlike Coulthard and his team mate Ralf Schumacher, Montoya was one of the few drivers to compete with Schumacher on the track. As in 2001, he stood out for his forceful overtaking moves on the World Champion, although several times he lost places through clashing with the German. For qualifying the
BMW WilliamsF1 FW24 could be set up to use its tires more effectively than its rivals and generate more grip. With this weapon Montoya was able to win seven pole positions, usually in the very last seconds of the session. He set the fastest ever lap for a Grand Prix during the qualifying session of the
2002 Italian Grand Prix at
Monza.
2003
Although the 2003 chassis was built by the team specifically for Montoya's driving style, the machine needed time to be developed. Problems with
oversteer were still present, often resulting in 360° spins in front of the crowd, in addition to reliability problems with the
BMW engine.
From the
Monaco Grand Prix the FW25 proved to be the class of the field, allowing Montoya to take victory at
Circuit de Monaco from
Kimi Räikkönen. Although this newly revamped design had proven successful,
Williams often made mistakes, failing to find a correct setup and Montoya gained a poor reputation for setting up a Formula One car. In addition,
Ralf Schumacher had a better relationship with the team, especially with the sporting director, which resulted in several in-race advantages for the German. During the
2003 French Grand Prix, after a misunderstanding with the pit crew, there was a vocal exchange of expletives between the Colombian and his team. This was followed by a formal letter of reprimand from the BMW Williams F1 team.
McLaren Mercedes announced that they'd take on his racing services from 2005 at an end of season announcement, although it was believed that Montoya had already decided to leave immediately after the French GP.
Bad luck for rivals and excellent on-track performances from the Colombian meant he was a title contender, particularly after a key victory at the
German Grand Prix. Williams, however, were unable to keep pace with the latest developments from
Ferrari. Montoya failed to claim another victory that year. A drive-through penalty at the
United States Grand Prix after a collision with Ferrari's Barrichello ended his title chances in the last race he'd finish in 2003.
2004
2004 was a disappointing year for Montoya. His relationship with the team was strained throughout the season since both parties knew he'd be leaving for the McLaren team at the end of the year.
Early season promise faded as the radical looking ‘tusked’ Williams FW26 initially lacked pace and both drivers were frequently left struggling to score points. However, the car was significantly overhauled during the season and the radical nose designed by a former Ferrari aerodynamicist was finally replaced with a more conventional one for the final stages of the season. Montoya left the team on a high note by winning his last race with them, the
2004 Brazilian Grand Prix, which was closely contested with future team mate
Kimi Räikkönen.
2005 - McLaren
After driving for Williams for four full seasons, Montoya found the
McLaren Mercedes car unpredictable, often claiming it felt like the
steering wheel wasn't "attached" to the rest of the car.
Having been criticised in previous years for his lack of fitness, Montoya began a training program under the direction of McLaren personnel but all the effort was lost when, just after the
Malaysian Grand Prix, he injured his shoulder while in
Spain. The official reason given to media was that he'd injured himself while playing tennis. However, rumors stated that a motorcycle accident was the real cause. After missing two Grands Prix he made an early return before he was completely healed. In fact he was often seen with his arm almost motionless for the remaining five Grands Prix even while in the paddock for the British GP.
In practice for the
Monaco Grand Prix Montoya was penalized to start from the back by race stewards for
brake-testing his former Williams team mate,
Ralf Schumacher, causing a four car collision. At the
Canadian Grand Prix Montoya was in contention for the win, but he was disqualified after leaving the pitlane under a red light. As a Michelin runner, Montoya didn't start the US Grand Prix (
see 2005 US Grand Prix). The Colombian was on track for a possible podium finish at Magny-Cours when his suspension failed. He retired from the lead of the
Hungarian GP due to a broken
driveshaft. His team mate had a similar failure 8 GP before, which shows the differences in
suspension geometry between both McLaren's as the torsional forces are carried out in different manner.
During the year Montoya suffered even more from oversteer than he'd at
Williams. On several occasions he spun during practice. More seriously he spun in his return from injury at the
Spanish Grand Prix and most notoriously at the last corner during qualifying for the
German Grand Prix. On that occasion he made up for it by climbing from 20th to 8th after the first two corners eventually finishing in a respectable 2nd.
Montoya worked with the team during the year to identify suspension geometry and aerodynamic problems that were making the car unpredictable. It is said that he helped the team to improve the car a lot, benefiting both himself and his team mate.
He had to learn how to cope with a very nervous and 'oversteery' car, in these conditions and after bad luck for his team mate, he scored his first victory for
McLaren Mercedes in the
British GP and in the same conditions at
Monza.
For most of the season Montoya's major concerns were the ongoing problems with backmarkers and team orders. Both
Tiago Monteiro and
Antônio Pizzonia collided with him, as had
Jos Verstappen in 2001, and
Jacques Villeneuve forced him off the track in one of the final races of the year. These incidents prevented Montoya from completing his main task for the team; stopping
Fernando Alonso and
Renault F1 from increasing their lead in the standings over Räikkönen and McLaren respectively.
In the final stages of the season it was clear that Montoya and his car were finally adapted to one another. The Colombian has often attributed this to the greater effort made by the
McLaren Mercedes Team than by Williams to tune the car to his driving style. At the
Brazilian GP, Montoya led home McLaren's first 1-2 result in years, ahead of newly crowned world champion
Fernando Alonso in third. It was his last finish of the year. In Japan he made contact with
Jacques Villeneuve on lap one, while in China a loose drain cover rose up and hit his car, damaging the suspension.
2006
Montoya started his 2006 Formula One World Championship campaign learning that the 2005 F1 Champion
Fernando Alonso had been contracted by
McLaren-Mercedes for the
2007 season. At the same time McLaren didn't take up their option on Montoya for 2007, while his teammate
Kimi Räikkönen remained a free agent.
During the first three races, Montoya consistently underperformed on the track, not managing to improve his position from the start at the Bahrain and Malaysia Grands Prix. Problems with his engine mapping also contributed, resulting in poor straight line performance.
At the
Australian Grand Prix, he drove an excellent race that sadly featured a few critical mistakes. His car spun near the end of the warm-up lap, caused by too much throttle whilst warming the tyres, and if
Fisichella hadn't stalled his
Renault before the start of the race and triggered another formation lap, Montoya would have started at the back end of the grid. He did manage to regain his grid position though, which angered other team managers. His race ended when towards the end of the race he hit a kerb on the exit of the final corner, whilst chasing
Ralf Schumacher hard for third place. The impact triggered an automatic electronic device in the McLaren MP4-21, shutting down his engine as it went into safety mode.
In the
San Marino Grand Prix, Montoya was forced to use the team spare car for the qualifying session when it was learnt that his car had a fuel pressure problem. McLaren fitted his engine into the team spare car, thus saving Montoya from a 10-place grid penalty. He managed to qualify in seventh place ahead of Räikkönen. The race however was very undramatic for him and a steady performance saw him finish third, earning his first podium finish of the season.
The races at the
Nürburgring and the
Circuit de Catalunya, however, were very disappointing for Montoya. He qualified in 9th position for the
European Grand Prix but then was stuck behind traffic for almost the whole race before his engine failed a few laps from the end. Catalunya saw Montoya failing to qualify in the Top 10 for the first time in the season. He qualified 12th in an underperforming McLaren. He was heavily fuelled and was on a one-stop strategy for the race but he spun and his car got stuck on a kerb and his race was over. Juan Pablo had a solid race at
Monaco, inheriting second place 14.5 seconds behind championship leader Fernando Alonso after Räikkönen and
Mark Webber went out with engine problems on lap 50. Once again, though, he appeared to be somewhat off his team mate's pace.
The
Canadian Grand Prix saw Montoya pull off a stunning overtaking move on
Michael Schumacher on the opening lap, but contact with
Nico Rosberg on the next lap and a mistake at the last corner resulted in Montoya bracing the wall and damaging the car, leading to retirement.
The
US Grand Prix also brought further disappointment to Montoya's season. An 8-car crash on the first corner saw him retire from the race, yet again taking no points. This crash also involved team-mate Räikkönen, and as one of the main instigators of the crash, this cast further doubt upon Montoya's future in Formula One.
Montoya's Formula One career effectively came to an end on
9 July when he announced in a public press conference from the US that he'd signed a contract to run in the NASCAR series from 2007. On
11 July 2006,
McLaren-Mercedes announced that Montoya would stop racing for the team with immediate effect, to enable him to prepare for his future career and take time out with his family. This ultimately confirmed Montoya's exit from F1. However, in the press conference on
July 14 at the French Grand Prix, Ron Dennis stated that Montoya was still under contract with McLaren-Mercedes and he'd remain in contract with the team until the expiration of the deal. Following further speculation that he could start racing in the NASCAR series as early as 2006, Dennis publicly offered Montoya an early exit from his contract with McLaren-Mercedes, provided that he resigned from receiving any payout to terminate his contract.
NASCAR
2006 season
On
July 9 2006, Montoya announced his plans to compete in the NASCAR
Nextel Cup series beginning with the 2007 season, racing for Chip Ganassi and
Felix Sabates' NASCAR operation,
Chip Ganassi Racing, in the No. 42
Texaco/Havoline Dodge. Montoya made his stock car debut in an
Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) event at the
Talladega Superspeedway on
October 6 2006. He qualified second, led the first nine laps, and finished third when the race was called after 79 of 92 laps. Three weeks later he followed this with an 11th place finish after a mid-race spin at the
Sam's Town 250 at
Memphis Motorsports Park, his first appearance in
NASCAR's second division
Busch Series. He competed in the final three races of the Busch Series season, but didn't better this performance. On
November 19 2006, Montoya competed for the first time in NASCAR's premier division, the NEXTEL Cup Series. He qualified 29th in the #30 Texaco Dodge at the
Ford 400 at
Homestead-Miami Speedway. He was running just outside the top 10 when contact with
Ryan Newman ended his race on lap 251. His car ended up in the grass engulfed in flames and he was credited with a 34th place finish.
2007 season
Before the start of the NASCAR season 06/07, Montoya won the
24 Hours of Daytona sports car race with teammates
Scott Pruett and
Salvador Duran.
Montoya finished 19th at the first race of the
2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup, the
Daytona 500, complaining of handling problems with the car.
On
March 4,
2007, Montoya won the NASCAR
Busch Series Telcel-Motorola 200 in Mexico City. It was his first Busch Series win in only seven starts. He came from 19th position in the final 24 laps to win the event. He had held the lead earlier in the race until an issue with the fuel overflow caused him to have to make an additional pitstop. There was controversy when Montoya tried to make a pass on the inside of his teammate,
Scott Pruett. The move resulted in Pruett spinning out and dropping to 17th position. Pruett recovered and finished 5th in the race, but was livid, believing that Montoya had spun him out to win his first race.
On
April 24,
2007, Montoya was fined $10,000 by
NASCAR and placed on probation for the rest of the season for an "inappropriate gesture" he made during a Busch Series practice session at
Phoenix International Raceway the previous weekend.
The gesture was captured on live
television by the
Speed Channel during their coverage of the practice session. Montoya apparently didn't know the camera was being used for live tv, and apologized, saying that it was only meant as a joke to one of his friends.
On
June 24,
2007, Montoya won his first NASCAR Nextel Cup race at the
Toyota/Save Mart 350 at
Sonoma, becoming the first non-American driver to win a Cup race since
Canadian Earl Ross in 1974.
Montoya qualified in 2nd spot in the 2007 Allstate 400, with his teammate
Reed Sorenson taking the pole position. During the race, he stayed in the top ten the entire time, finishing second behind race winner
Tony Stewart.
Improving at the tracks he once struggled at, Montoya used consistency to battle the expected steep learning curve and fend off
David Ragan to become the first non-American driver to win Rookie of the Year at NASCAR's highest level.
2008 season
Before the start of the
2008 NASCAR season, Montoya won the 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race for the second consecutive year, this time with a slightly different team consisting of himself, his good friend Dario Franchitti, Scott Pruett, and Memo Rojas. At Talladega, he'd a 2nd place finish.
Philanthropic activities
Together with his wife, Connie Freydell (a native of
Medellín,
Colombia), Montoya founded the
Formula Smiles Foundation as part of his duties as a
United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. The foundation's main aim is to help children in poor neighborhoods by building or improving sports facilities and infrastructure. Montoya organizes several events for the foundation, such as
Échele Cabeza al casco de Juan Pablo Montoya - a helmet painting competition in which children can design a new pattern for Montoya's racing helmet. The winning design was worn in the
Brazilian Grand Prix each year. The most famous event organised by the charity is the
Race of Stars, a kart race disputed by international stars of the motorsport scene. The invited drivers, mainly from Formula One and the IRL, attend in the hopes of raising money for children in poor neighbourhoods. The race is run on a street course in the historical center of the city of
Cartagena de Indias,
Colombia, which features high levels of humidity and temperature, making it a tough driving exercise.
