I just thought it was wrong video since i see no huge difference in speed between McLaren and WIlliams.. Kimi braked very early and Jordan was hardly a contender in 2004..
How many lap records does JP Montoya have?

- Start date

Most of the current lap records still date from 2004 / 2005 and a lot of them have been set by JPM it seems. Is he the fastest F1 driver ever?
Yep.
In 2004 with his Williams FW27 Montoya lapped Monza at an average speed of 262.242 km/h (1.19.525)in pre-qualifying .This is the fastest lap ever in F1 (latest records set, not top of fastest laps) .I had the video of the current lap at youtube but as i see it's disabled due to copyright.
I ment out of the pits, that small road you could see Montoya closin the distance rapidly twice.
Then when they get out they near top speed.
I know Jordan was hardly a contender but you can see a pretty big closing speed there.
The pull if the BMW engine was insane, this mostly why he had the record at Brazil.
Saub paulo is pretty high up aswell so there's around 10% of hp loss as well.
I think Montoya also has the lap record for Istanbul Park
Do you remember when he did 9 overtakes in one race at Monaco? I don't remember which year it was but it was incredible! He still holds that record
Malaysia 04 aswell I think it was.Do remember when he did 9 overtakes in one race at Monaco? I don't remember which year it was but it was incredible! He still holds that record
When Schumi hit him at turn 1.
He got a drive through and came from dead last to 2nd.
Finishing about 5 seconds behind team mate and winner Ralf Schu
Him and Schumi had their moments
Loved his fighting spirit and gave no respect to him.
Overtake into bus stop at SPA was incredible. just sneaked in the car hehe

Look at 1:20, absolute animal of a car
This was one heluva stupid qualifying system...
It´s a complete frickin monster.
great vid of the power, even out of draft he just zaps past other cars,

He is very fast driver but he wasn't feeling it, he was just terrible... It's a good reminder that the guy really is talented, when he left, he didn't really leave good memories behind...
That was an awesome system!
It also gave screentime to the smaller teams! I loved it! It made many appreciate the work the guys in the smaller teams did just to keep the cars on the track!I liked that one too but the current system ain't too shabby either..
I sure miss these cars. Maybe the racing was abit boring with Schumacher winning almost everything. But atleast we saw cars that were monsters and sounded like a F16. We saw the top of what was possible with a car. I feel bad for the little kids these days who only have the dinky toys cars to put on the wall.
Was more complaining on how they look nowadays.
