Michael says: Montoya has the right attitude.
Three times World Champion Michael Schumacher has said that Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya has the right mentality. The German told British newspaper The Sun: "Montoya doesn't have any respect for other drivers and I didn't have that either when I started. And that is quite right."
He added: "Why should you? As a driver you feel you are the faster, so you go and try. That's perfectly acceptable as long as you don't take other drivers off like Montoya did to Eddie Irvine in Australia."

"It is great to have such people in F1 because they put the sport on a higher level. They increase the attention of F1 and that helps. I am happy to see a guy like him coming and doing well. It is not often that it happens. Normally people who come from ChampCar suffer in F1 and, although he seemed to do so initially, he has since got it going."
"He is a good racer which he showed in Brazil with quite a good manoeuvre on me. I like these guys because it means we can have good fights in the future."
