Mar.7 (GMM) Former Williams and McLaren driver and now NASCAR star, Juan Pablo Montoya has aimed fire at Formula 1, slamming the look of this year's cars with the platypus style noses and insisting that he does not regret walking away.
The winner of 7 grands prix left McLaren in the midst of the 2006 season, switching immediately to NASCAR.
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.
"Not for a second," he is quoted by Switzerland's Motorsport Aktuell.
"Of course I have some fond memories of F1, but I don't miss it. I miss some of the people I met there. But the racing? Not at all."
Montoya admits he still watches some races, but has "very little interest" overall.
"F1 is a joke," he blasted. "It's sad they can build cars like that - just look at the new noses."
