Montoya won't return to F1

24 May 2007

Juan Pablo Montoya won't even consider a move back to Formula 1. The Colombian driver left the McLaren Formula 1 team in the middle of the 2007 seasson and made his NASCAR debut in the USA.

Montoya told Colombian newspaper El Tiempo that he doesn't miss F1 a bit. When asked if he regrets his move from F1 to NASCAR Montoya said: "Absolutely not. I'm ten times happier in NASCAR than I ever was in Formula 1. A while ago I met Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz and he asked me if I wanted to join his team. I told him he is completely crazy and will not return to Formula 1 under any condition."

Montoya started his career in Formula One in 2001 at the Williams F1 team. In 2003 Montoya finished third in the championship standings.
