Montoya in the wet

[Yoong Montoya]

If tomorrow's Malaysian GP was wet, how good do you think Montoya would do? He did some testing in the wet at Valencia in January and did very well as far as I know. But did he do any wet racing in F3000 or any other junior formula,and how did he do? I was just wondering because Montoya is a lot like Senna,but would he be as good in the wet as Senna was?

Montys car control is awesome . The only thing i would ask is
1/ HOW GOOD ARE TH MICHELIN WET TYRES ?

2/ WHAT DOES THE WILLIAMS CHASSIS HANDLE LIKE IN VERY WET CONDIDTIONS ?

As most people know by now, JPM can drive a car on ice. I think it was a wet-weather performance when he was back in f3000 in 1997 that first interested Williams and Head.

Also in CART he competed in two wet weather races (Cleveland & Vancouver -99) and comfortably won both.

Yeah, I remember Head saying that he watched Montoya overtaking others by going on the grass during a wet race at Hockenhiem!!

Cleveland definetely !!!, I remember that one.

yeah, should be no problems, but he has really had much F1 experience in the wet has he? Malaysia 2001, that's about all...he was out before the rain hit in Brazil. And I can't remember what he was like in wet CART races, so for me it's a question mark. But based on what've read on this thread, seems like rain wouldn't be a hinderence.
