Franz Tost thinks Ralf Schumacher had the ability to be an F1 World Champion if only the stars had aligned.
Ralf was already doing tests with Bridgestone in Japan back then.
But it was only Montoya who was able to sustain a title challenge when he took on Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher and McLaren’sfor outright glory in 2003. He ultimately lost out and never got another opportunity as Williams fell away from the front in 2004 before Montoya departed for an ill-fated stint at McLaren before quitting F1.
“Like Ralf, Juan was extremely talented, extremely fast,” he said of the 1999 CART Champion and two-time Indy 500 winner. “Even Ralf was easily distracted in this regard. In terms of sheer talent, Montoya could easily have won a title. But talent alone is not enough to win titles in Formula 1. You have to have the necessary discipline to use your talent properly.
