Juan Montoya Quotations

Wow. What a beautiful-looking car. I have obviously been testing the MP4- 21 quite a bit already but seeing the car like this is something else.

The pace of the car was down. We had to open up the car for cooling and we lost a lot of performance.

My two days at this week's test were focused on Michelin selection for the Spanish Grand Prix, which takes place in a month from now. We have been evaluating the prime and options with Michelin, with some interesting results, and have been able to conclude the process today.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen because I never lifted a car with a jack. I thought, 'Oh, it's kind of heavy.' So I went harder, and I thought I was going to land up on my ass. I didn't, so I'm pretty glad about that!

I like having kids around. I want to see them grow up, so Sebastian travels with us, the next one will as well.

We seem to have found the perfect balance between speed and grip.

It will be interesting to see what it (the engine) does. I think if it is competitive and everything goes well we should be able to fight them in the race. The only way to beat them is to be a bit smarter in the race.

Unless we want to finish about 10th or 12th then we should think about changing (the engine) to be honest.

At the moment I'm concentrating more on this season, on the fact that I'm here at McLaren.

I feel well prepared for the long season ahead. But as always there is a lot of work still to be done.
