Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has no regrets exiting Formula 1 to join the NASCAR series in the US. "I have no regrets," Montoya said.
"I don't miss F1 and I don't spend time thinking about it," Montoya told Sunday Mirror Sport. "There are only a couple of guys each year who have a chance of winning the world championship. At Daytona there are maybe 15 guys in with a chance. Jeff Gordon is the favourite, along with Tony Stewart, and he is starting from the back of the grid. They are two of the most experienced guys."
"I've no regrets about leaving (Formula 1). I had options to stay but decided Nascar is where I wanted to be," said Montoya. "Formula One is not unfinished business for me and it's not in my mind to return there. OK, everyone wants to win the world championship but apart from that I won all the big races."
"I've won Monza, Silverstone, Germany and Monaco. All the races that every driver wants to win, I have won. There was only a small chance of winning the championship unless you had a car that was right on it. It is always the teams with the most money that win the championship. This year will be the same - it'll be between the same big names. I won't miss that."
"Nascar is keeping me pretty busy but I'll try to catch a couple of the Grands Prix if I can."
