Juan Pablo Montoya has aimed fire at formula one, blasting the look of this year’s cars and insisting he does not regret walking away.<\/p>\n
The winner of 7 grands prix left McLaren in the midst of the 2006 season, switching immediately to Nascar.<\/p>\n
Still in America’s premier motor racing category and a few pounds heavier than in his F1 days, the now 36-year-old Colombian was asked if he has ever regretted the move.<\/p>\n
“Not for a second,” he is quoted by Switzerland’s Motorsport Aktuell.<\/p>\n
“Of course I have some fond memories of formula one, but I don’t miss it.\u00a0 I miss some of the people I met there.\u00a0 But the racing?\u00a0 Not at all.”<\/p>\n
Montoya admits he still watches some races, but has “very little interest” overall.<\/p>\n
“F1 is a joke,” he blasted.\u00a0 “It’s sad they can build cars like that — just look at the new noses.”<\/p>\n
