This is a circuit though that
Juan Pablo Montoya already claims the silverware for, although on that occasion he was going in the opposite direction and was only turning left on the way to the famed 2000 Indianapolis 500.
One of the sport?s ultimate achievements, Montoya is looking to get back to winning ways at Indianapolis, even if he will have to turn right as well as left. He is especially eager to get his year back on track after a disappointing weekend in Canada when an early clash with
Nico Rosberg and then a terminal altercation with ?Champions Wall? saw him leaving Montreal pointless.
"After my race in Canada, I cannot wait to get straight back on track this weekend, as the car felt really quick. It is even better for me that we are at Indy this race and competing for the fans, who are amazing and I personally have awesome support from Colombia, so I am looking forward to getting out there and putting on a fantastic show for them.
?The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has such great memories for me from my days in CART and of course winning the Indy 500 in 2000, it is such a special venue, full of history and legend.?
Ferrari ? Michael Schumacher (#5), Felipe Massa (#6):
Two points may sound relatively insignificant but having played second fiddle to
Fernando Alonso in three of the last four races, Michael Schumacher is seeing his championship chances ebb away gradually.
Although a pair of retirements on Alonso?s part can make all the difference, it seems in a straight fight that Schumacher and Ferrari cannot quite take on their main rivals in terms of outright speed.
Indeed, Schumacher was typically on form when it mattered during the race in Canada, but a poor qualifying and an equally disappointing start put paid to his hopes, even if that famous luck of his did strike on the penultimate lap when
Kimi Raikkonen fell victim on a treacherous Gilles Villeneuve Circuit.
