Williams Curse to Bite Montoya?
November 29, 2003
According to Burd Phillips, Juan had better win the championship in ‘04 because he is doomed never to win after leaving Team Williams.
No driver who has started at least one race in a Williams car has ever moved to another team and won a world drivers’ championship. Since 1968, 51 different drivers have sat in a Williams on race day and not a single one of them ever won a championship after leaving the team. Sir Frank has earned a reputation for being rather short with his drivers, and perhaps this is why. He secretly knows that if they go elsewhere, they will never again be a threat to his squad’s championship aspirations.
