Juan Pablo Montoya arrived in Formula 1 in 2001 after two sensational years in America where he claimed the CART title as a rookie in 1999 and won the Indianapolis 500 at the first attempt in 2000. In this episode Glenn Freeman and Mark Hughes are joined by Jonathan Williams to discuss Montoya's rookie F1 season, with Jonathan offering a unique insight from what it was like being inside the team created by his father Frank when Montoya arrived. We cover the impact Montoya's signing had on Jenson Button (and if Williams could have ever had a Montoya/Button line-up), how expectations were set following Alex Zanardi's struggles two years earlier, tension with Ralf Schumacher that started before they'd even raced together, that stunning pass on Michael Schumacher at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Montoya's struggles after that race to find his feet in F1, team tactics fallouts with Ralf later in the year, how he handled more missed opportunities to win, and how it all came together for a long awaited maiden victory during a sombre Monza weekend.
