Juan Pablo Montoya 🦂has explained his anger at Michael Schumacher after their infamous ♓“blind or stupid” altercation.

Ferrari’s Schumacher aggressively held of🦹f Williams’ Montoya on the opening lap at the 2004 San Marino Grand Prix🎃.

Schumacher ended up winning, but third-placed Montoya later hit out: “You’ve got to be blind or stupid to not see ꦗme!”

Montoya has since reflected on theဣ Beyond The Grid podcast: “They were quicker than us. But we were quick and on fresh tyres.

“To pass him, I had to go str🎶aight away. He drove me off the track but I was okay.

“I would’ve done the same thing!

“I was o🦹kay with it. If he said in the interview ‘I drove him off the t꧅rack’ then I would have been okay with it.

“But he said ‘I didn’t see him’.

“Everybody thinks and talks but I talk 👍and think! I surprise everybody else around me!”

'People thought I was crazy, it worked'

Montoya expressed his annoyance tha♉t ♎fellow drivers would not battle the dominant Schumacher during his Ferrari pomp.

“The annoying ꧋th🍃ing with Michael? Nobody raced him,” claimed Montoya.

“When he came from the back it was ‘ah, ⛄Michael is coming, ๊get out of the way’.

“That p****** me off.

“It was like ‘oh, it’s Michael, don’t🐓 f*** with Micha⛄el’. He had so much respect.

“My approach to racing? I was such an asshole when racing. People ꧃thought I was crazy, and it work꧃ed.

“When I threw thꦆe car in, they knew I wouldn’t get out of the way. You had two choices - you give me room, or🦄 we crash!

“The o𒈔nly time ꦡI talked to Michael was when I raced for BMW, and he was with Ferrari.

“We were in💯vited to a🐓 party at the Nurburgring after the race.

“It was me, Michael and R🅺ubens. The three of us got drunk, and thatꦕ was it!”
