Juan Pablo Montoya rarely speaks, but when he does, there is always a valid reason. This time is no different, he could not remain silent regarding the performance of former F1 driver Carlos Sainz.
However, the situation Montoya spoke about does not only concern one person, as Franco Collapinto, who exploded in Formula 1, also plays an important role. The Colombian driver did not forget this and included it in his speech:
“If I were Christian Horner or one of the Red Bull bosses now, I would go straight to Williams and tell them that if they are happy with Colapintó, then let him stay with you, and let Sainz go to us. Franco would also benefit from not having to face such a big challenge like Max Verstappen right away. He could represent a greater risk than Sergio Perez. The latter is experienced, has race wins and knows the dynamics. However, let's remember how it went with Alexander Albon, how he collapsed... And that's where Carlos Sainz comes in. He would be a challenge for Verstappen, a huge reinforcement in the fight for the constructors, and they would also gain financially.
If I were Horner, I would choose Sainz, not Colapintó.” - said Montoya, probably expressing the feelings of many fans.
