    I hope he will.
    2019 punishment for Ferrari was very harsh.
    No reasons Red Bull and Mercedes escapes this if they are proved guilty.

    Hahah:)

    When he was a young driver competing in the US Montoya used to fly from Bogota to Miami in a cargo plane owned by a friend of his dad. The plane carried flowers, hence it was refrigerated. One time his dad had an argument with that man so in retaliation he turned the temperature way down and Juan Pablo froze during the whole trip LOL.

    While I am at it another of his flight anecdotes: years later, leaving Miami in a private jet bound for Bogota, airport customs looked at the nationality and ages of the passengers and called the plane back as it had already begun taxiing.

    DEA searched the plane until one young agent asked him if he was related to the Montoya who had won the Indy 500. He said I am related to myself yes:D. End of control free to go.

    I have the hotel. Since the championship has been decided I am still debating if it will be worth going, when I can see it while relaxing in my house.

    To me the best seats of all on the track as the cars are coming at over 200mph then brake at the 150 or 100 meter board going into T12.
