Montoya laughs off F1 return

Juan Pablo Montoya has laughed off talk of a possible return to Formula One.

Montoya joined NASCAR last year after effectively being axed by McLaren, ending five and a half years of grand prix racing.

The Colombian had recently been linked with Toro Rosso, who are the only team yet to announce their driver line-up for the new season.

But a Formula One comeback is not on the agenda for Montoya as he told Autosport: “I received a message on my mobile from somebody in Europe. I’m not going to say from whom.

“The message said that if I found NASCAR boring, they had the doors open for me to return to F1. I laughed so much at it.”
