Advantages: The best driver with a 'I just don't care' attitude. Awesome!

Disadvantages: Inexperienced?

Montoya is a star! He is the new driver in Formula One, and he is superb taking every corner how it should be taken and punishing the car down the straights.

Micheal Schumacher should be shaken in his drivers seat because Montoya is the new kid on the block, and he knows what real drivings about.
Or does he?

Relatively inexperienced, it was considered a huge gamble by Williams to bring him in from ChampCar Championship winner to formula one. This was a test to see how good Montoya was though, as Frank Williams sent him to the American based championship after considering signing him in 1999.

He proved himself, and along with that he won the Indianopolis 500 at his first attempt, was the International FIA F3000 in 1998 and also the runner up in the same championship in the previous year (1997).

In that same year he also became test driver for Williams, so Frank Williams has done his homework on this driver.
People wouldn't gamble with multi-million pound cars if they thought that the driver was just going to trash them, though teams seem to have done that before.

Many drivers fail to make the transition from smaller cars to the biggest and the best cars, but Pablo Montoya is an exception.
In the last 3 races he hasn't finished in the points, but largely not due to his inexperience.

In the last race in Brazil he was winning the race by 30 seconds, he had a pit stop to go and so did Schumacher and Coultard.
After letting him past, Verstappen smashed into the back of Montoya causing him to cruelly spin out of the race.
At least he went away with his head held high, applause off the Brazilian crowd and critics raving about his performance.
His attack on Scumacher (Micheal) on the first corner proved his bottle, proved to everybody that he's here and he means business.

He is also in a fantastic car, the Williams with a BMW engine. Faster than the Ferrari, and with a bit bett
er drivers and a bit more look they would easily be the constructors championship champions. Montoya pushes the cars to the limits, and whether this is a good thing or not its certainly putting Williams back on the map.

Montoya will not win the Championship this year and will probably not even come close. Next year though will be his, I guarantee.
Villeneuve won it in only his second season and in my opinion Montoya is a far better driver.

Look out for him.
