Montoya laughs at Hamilton: 'Was it you or the car?'
Former Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya has told that he had to laugh at Lewis Hamilton. The Colombian thinks it is a bit hypocritical of the seven-time world champion to complain about the dominance of Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing. The seven-time Grand Prix winner by MyBettingSites.
Montoya said he found it funny that Lewis Hamilton was complaining because the Briton himself was in a similar situation when he dominated. "It’s funny because Lewis keeps coming out and saying ‘it’s unfair, it’s unfair’. He’s already predicting that Max is going to win next year but you look back at his period of dominance: was it down to you, or was it down to the car?"
Montoya on Verstappen's dominance
"We were all happy for you when you dominated," Montoya said. The Former Williams and McLaren driver also feels that the car is very important when you look at the performances of different Formula 1 drivers.
"If you look at Lando against Piastri for example, Piastri is doing a great job in his first season, but Lando is beating him 90 percent of the time. If Lando was in the quickest car, he would be winning every race and it would be him instead of Max," Montoya said.
