Juan Pablo Montoya won the Indy 500

The epic Indy 500 race was celebrated by Juan Pablo Montoya, who won in front of his teammate from Penska, Will Power. Otherwise, as many as nine racing cars with Chevrolet cars came in the top eleven. This is Montoya's second victory at India, but the previous one is 15 years old. Well, today Juan was honestly trying to win, as Simona de Silva collided under the yellow flags, which made him need a new rear wing, but in the end it paid off: "Behind us is a good race in which there was no sign of victory, but in the second half everything turned around and I came to the top. " Slightly more disappointed was Power, who believes he could have won with some luck: "I was second, I don't like second, and Indy is on top of that.

Jacques Villeneuve said that the first appearance of 17-year-old Max Verstappn in the formula will be taken as an insult, as all racers, including him, unlike the Dutchman, had to prove themselves much more and prove themselves in many lower categories. "Are they aware at Red Bull that they are going to seat a child in a Formula One car?" wondered the 1997 season champion. "I have no doubt he's fast, but he has no experience. I got into Formula One myself when I was 25 after winning Indy Car. Before you play with the lives of others, you have to learn racing and the role of Formula One is not learning, ”said the universally critical Canadian, who believes the newly adopted age limit of 18 is still too low.
