As much as I admire JPM, I wouldn't want him in F1 now. We've got Lewis who's the same as JPM but with less aggro.
I'd rather see him succeed in NASCAR.
In same mould as Clark and Andretti, JPM can drive anything.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

JPM gets stick for realising there is a life outside of F1 - and that there are other racing series out there.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Montoya grew on me through the years. Initially I thought he was a whining little git. That he never said anything particularly productive, albeit sometimes funny. But then I realized that F1 is not his type of sport. He can drive as well as any guy out on the track, but in F1, the driving is only one part of it. And Montoya lacked the temperament (for the want of a better word) needed to succeed in F1 today.

An offer from let's say Ferrari for example might change the perspective a bit...

IMO he should return to open wheelers, but in the IRL, not in F1. But with the new merger of DEI and Ganassi, he might be competitive even in NASCAR, who knows?

I know a lot of NASCAR fans that would like to see Juan Pablo go back to F1... IRL... or anywhere for that matter. lol He didn't get the fan following that I think he THOUGHT he might get in stock car racing, but I have to agree with the other poster - he's grown on me a bit too. He comes off as really whiny and annoying at first, but now that he's settling in and the personality is coming out - he's not THAT bad.
Actually, that's true. I thought my Uncle Tommy was funded by MI, but when I looked closely it was just a very very very VERY very very very rich individual. I don't see the positivity either....
