Default OT: Montoya in Mexico City

Did anyone watch Montoya drive the wheels of that car and come form dead last to win on the Mexico City Road Course? Seemed a little aggressive near the end taking his team-mate out tho....but man, that guy can drive.

Scott Pruett went wide giving up the inside. He then turned back into Montoya.
Two cars can't occupy the same spot at the same time...

I'd call that shared responsibility - meaning both should get a tongue-lashing from Chip and Felix

The late Dale Earnhardt would brush it off by saying ``It was just one of
those racin' deals.''

In Nascar speak "Rubbin' is Racing". I wonder what would be said if the shoe was on the other foot....

It was truly a racing incident. I'm sure Pruett's crew chief was on the radio with him telling him where Montoya was passing people and how close he was. Pruett made a mistake and Montoya went for the gap and Pruett closed the door. Montoya was too agressive as he was a lot faster and could've waited to get him into or after the esses.

Despite the controversy...watching JPM drive on that road course was a treat.

JPM's drive yesterday reminded me of Mad Max's run at the Daytona 24 hr in the 333SP back in the late 90's. He just couldn't be beaten and showed that even F-1/Open wheel guys can drive a tank like a Busch car!

Josephla,

Obviously, you have never seen Donington 93 F1 race ... That was THE greatest drive of all time!!! JPM as good as he was, he'd quit and split in the middle of season and that is a coward nor a true racer in my book.
