Montoya was confident he would have the most promising career of the group, as he had signed with a Championship winning team.

Alonso: Did you see Nelson Piquet’s son running around….he’s so irritating. Hope I don’t see him again.
Montoya: My psychic told me by time those words become ironic, I won’t even be in F1.
Bernoldi: If there’s one thing I want from F1, it’s to make Coulthard angry.
Raikkonen: Just take the photo, I need my nap.

Drivers feared Montoya would be quick off the blocks, so they asked Michael Schumacher, complete with a Yellow missile, to ‘sort it out’

“I think that’s Bernoldi who is the most promising of these young men.” Helmut Marko (2001)

@french-steve I like!
Aditya Fakhri Yahya (@adityafakhri) said on 12th January 2013, 17:41
That ironically was true statement of Helmut Marko!

Bernoldi feeling a “little” intimidated by the others,
compensates with a big smile.
