Montoya 1998 test driver for williams?

[www.geocities.com]

Yes he was, and he was sent by Frank Williams to CART, to get some more racing experience, where he won the championship.

did he not test in 97 also? i thought i saw a pic a while ago with him in rothmans colours

I have a picture of him in the 98 Williams when i won a competition to be a VIP guest with Arrows at a test day and factory tour.

We snuck in the Williams garage and took some pics, but threw out. The only good one we got was of montoya in the car Also met Rubens (at Stewart) all the Arrows drivers/team (obviously being their VIP) some of McLaren.

Was a good day, got lunch at the Arrows factory which was cool and got to see all the cars including Damns from Hungary. They even picked us up and dropped us off at my house in a lovely big Arrows people carrier.

Ill upload some pics later.

Who is the other test driver in the photo? seems i've already seen him but don't remember...

boullion?

Max Wilson I think

Helmet on the floor, nearest the edge next to JV's - that's the odd one out, seeing as the other drivers are JV, Frentzen & Montoya. If you can identify it, then that's who it is...

It is Max Wilson, he was one of the offical test drivers for 98 & thats his crash helmet design

who are we to argue

if you have Jerez '97 on tape, you will see JPM sitting in the garage behind Frank watching the battle between MS and JV.

The other driver is no doubt Max Wilson. Petrobras became the official fuel supplier for Williams in 1998. You can see the logo on Max Wilson's left sleeve. As part of the Petrobras-Williams deal, a Brazilian driver has to test with the team. After Wilson, Bruno Junqueiro, Rodrigo Sperafico and Antonio Pizzonia have driven a Williams. Last week João Paulo Oliveira joined them in this list.
