12 - year - old Sebastian Montoya, the son of legendary all - around ace racing
driver Juan Pablo Montoya, has joined Ferrari's
junior programme
There's no doubt that IndyCar (and other American series) has plenty of talented
drivers, but the modern F1 way is for teams to recruit young
drivers to their
junior programmes and prepare them for F1 over a number of years, rather than simply plucking good
drivers from other championships as occasionally used to be the case.
