| As he
prepares for the opening round of the 2004 Formula One season, the
Australian Grand Prix, Juan Pablo Montoya is confident that in 2004 he can
win the championship.
 In
an interview in Melbourne Juan Pablo was asked about his chances. "I'm going
to try to win the championship. It's very straightforward," Montoya said.
"I am very confident going into this season. I can't wait for the racing to
start again. Winter testing is hard work and not particularly rewarding
because you can't tell where you are in relation to the competition."
After the extensive winter testing the race in Melbourne will be the first
opportunity for the drivers and teams to gauge how well their cars are
performing relative to the opposition.
As for who are going to be his rivals in 2004 Juan Pablo added: "I think
that Ferrari are going to be strong again, like every year."
"Their reliability has always been very impressive, especially Michael's
car, and I think that they will be as reliable as us. If they are quicker
than us in the first race it doesn't mean they are going to win the
championship, if we win the first race it doesn't mean that's it," he added. |
