Montoya analysis

In the days prior to the Miami GP, Montoya is already on the circuit and has analyzed the importance of the weather as a factor to be taken into account by the teams.

“The weather can put a big spin on the race. Maybe it goes down the track, maybe part of the track gets wet. That’s going to be interesting. They’ll have spotters, radar and the like so the teams know where the rain is coming from. , but it’s hard to predict,” Montoya explained to VegasInsider. If it starts to rain, teams had better prepare for a heavy downpour. “It doesn’t rain much, but it’s heavy five-minute downpours. There is no light rain. In many places you can see the rain front coming, but not here. Suddenly, everything is soaked,” said Montoya.
