Top 5 moments of Juan Pablo Montoya's Racing career

Maiden Grand Prix in his debut season at F1; Monza, 2001 Italian GP

Italian Grand Prix of 2001 was aced by Montoya, his maiden win, in his debut season

There are drivers that try to win a Grand Prix and fail. There are drivers that finally win a Grand Prix, finally after a couple of seasons or maybe three or four years running at the highest level.

And then, there are blokes like Juan Pablo Montoya, who happened to win a Grand Prix in only his maiden F1 season.

But during the 2001 Italian Grand Prix- at Monza- a track where Montoya would return, three years later to set the fastest-ever lap in F1s history, he'd take his maiden win.

In beating greats like Michael Schumacher, then in his peak years in that blood-shot Ferrari, Montoya stunned other rising names on the grid, including Alonso and Kimi. It was a win to savour not only because after retiring for 4 races on the trot did Montoya manage to complete a Grand Prix, only to win it, but he'd also achieve the feat in only his debut run at the top level of Grand Prix racing.
