Well he is known that BMW Williams F1 Team also protects its interests and developments with modern and very effective canons and with much caution, when trying relations complex, particularly the concerning ones the hirings of its new pilots. -

Juan Pablo Montoya is the most excellent example of the relation. -

One of the ways by means of which it is possible to be gotten to observe the aforesaid thing is verifying the materialization of the obtained profits that the Briton Frank Williams carried out after long time of treatments and secret proceedings, to attract successful figures of the predominant American category ex- Formula C.A.R.T. (Championship Car Racing Teams, Inc.), present Champ Car World Series, as they are the cases of the Italian Alessandro Zanardi, that ran and suffered in 1999 with the slow and problematic Williams FW21-Supertec/Bridgestone, and of the Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya, that began to run for Williams from calendar 2001. -

Zanardi returned to the F1 in 1999 of the hand of Williams-Ganassi. -

It is possible to emphasize the fluid and optimal friendly and commercial relation that maintains Frank Williams (“Main Team” of its equipment) with the American Ganassi Chip, proprietor of escudería Target Chip Ganassi Racing in Formula I.R.L. (Indy Racing League). - Williams attracted Formula 1 to Zanardi and to Montoya later from the sine of the followers of Ganassi, when Ganassi participated in ex- Formula C.A.R.T., without ignoring nor diminishing the opportune temporary hiring that the same Williams carried out in 2000 with the Briton Jenson Button, who revealed itself like very ambitious, not being able to arrive to be molded by Williams. - Button remained in the equipment Williams in order to occupy momentarily since later it would correspond to fill to him by own right to Montoya. -

English Jenson Button disputed to 17 races with the equipment Williams BMW in the year 2000. -

It would not be logical to compare the concise sport trajectory of Button with the one of Montoya, whose good star will not stop shining by many years and illuminating with great brightness and like a light the new litters of pilots. -
The most excellent landmarks of the curriculum of Montoya are basically five: 1) gained the Championship of Formula 3000 the International in 1998 with escudería Super Nova Racing; 2) 199-Honda/Firestone obtained with authority the Championship of ex- Formula C.A.R.T in 1999 with a Reynard pertaining to the Target equipment Chip Ganassi Racing; 3) in 2000 were the winner of traditional the 500 Miles of Indianapolis on board “unattainable” a G-FORCE-Oldsmobile-Aurora/Firestone, also property of escudería Target Chip Ganassi Racing, constructed and used car, like the one of his coequipier in that one occasion, the American Jimmy Vasser, only for that race of that year, which takes to emphasize the professionalism of Ganassi even more, when penetrating by first and unique time in 2000 in Formula I.R.L. ; 4) the consistent victory in the Great Prize of Italy de Fórmula 1 edition 2001, manning the Williams FW23-BMW/Michelin, whom its first triumph constituted, and 5) lauro adjudged in the Great Prize of Monaco de Fórmula 1 of 2003 with the Williams FW25-BMW/Michelin. -
Frank Williams knows that in the categories of the EE.UU pilots enabled and interested are arising to get to stand out in the hypothetical case of happening to Formula 1. -

The Montoya Colombian at its time of C.A.R.T., where he obtained the championship in his first year. -

The right and uninterrupted contacts at the high level between Frank Williams and Chip Ganassi, which come maintaining for several years, next to other illustrious and influential personalities of the sport motoring of American competition, without a doubt will return abrir more doors to him to Williams, to accede to a much more eager market of pilots who those that offer the European promotional categories and Formula to him 1 meetings and where, unlike present Formula 1, the pilot continues being the component major of the car and the final element in the search of the victory. -
