Indianapolis 500 winners media event

Ontem postei uma foto de Juan Pablo Montoya em um evento com a imprensa lá no museu no Circuito de Indianápolis e que reuniu os vencedores das 500 milhas que participarão desta temporada da IndyCar: nosso octete Montoya, os brasileiros Hélio Castronenes e Tony Kanaan, além de Will Power.

Hoje temos mais fotos e um pouco do que o colombiano falou sobre disputar a famosa corrida do automobilismo pela sua nova equipe, a Penske, além de comentar sobre a emoção de estar de volta ao Indianapolis Motor Speeway.

“Every year you came here and you’re not in an Indy car, it’s cool, but you want to come to the Museum to see the Indy cars. It’s not the same. The Brickyard is a big deal, but it’s not the Indy 500. I never thought I’d be back here to try to get another win. I’m excited and to race here for Team Penske is a hell of a chance (to win).”

(What’s it like to be back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway?): “It’s pretty exciting. I really haven’t thought about it too much. I’m more of a guy who goes, ‘What’s next? Are we testing? Are we doing this or are we doing that? I try not to think about it too much. Once we need to come to Indy, I’ll worry about Indy and not before. Still it’s exciting. If you think about it, I’m 1-for-1 here and it would be cool to be 2-for-2.”
