Beating Kimi, Schumi to clinch Monaco Grand Prix win of 2003
Winning a race at the famous Principality of Monte Carlo can be quite an achievement. With dozens of fancy yachts parked around in a fashionable, peppy setting emblazoned by the rich and the famous, when you win a race at Monaco, you truly become an elite, isn't it?
Well, just that for Montoya, his memorable win came at the back of beating faster guys, inarguably in better machinery such as Raikkonen in his McLaren and Schumacher in that imposing Ferrari.
Even as Kimi emerged the fastest of the driver, going fastest in lap 45, Montoya served a master-class in defensive driving, putting the tail of his Williams just six-tenths of a margin ahead of Raikkonen's McLaren by the time he crossed the checkered flag.
