Montoya gears up for US clash

JUAN PABLO MONTOYA will draw on memories of his greatest triumph to date as he looks to close the gap on championship leader Michael Schumacher at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.

The Colombian won the legendary Indianapolis 500 with unusual ease three years ago during his Champ Car days, which earned him a large following in the US.

Montoya is just three points adrift of Schumacher in the title race and with just two grands prix remaining, a record sixth drivers’ crown could conceivably be secured at Indianapolis by the Ferrari star.
