“For Monaco, it has been a very special career for me since the success of my father (Juan Pablo Montoya) in 2003.and just as I dream of racing on this track, this is my first time on a street circuit, so it will be a challenging challenge, ”the 17-year-old Colombian-American driver said at a virtual press conference.
