Montoya said he's never been scared in a racing-car, but he came close to messing his pants one time in a comparatively tame Citroen Saxo saloon. 'I was going about 125mph on a little cliff road on a mountain,' he said. 'A car drove straight at me, I went off the road, but didn't hit anything. I was a lucky boy. I didn't shit my pants but I was pretty shaken up.'

Montoya doesn't like to be in the passenger seat. 'We have a bit of a deal,' he revealed in reference to wife Connie. 'I drive, but I'm not allowed to go over 125mph. It's a compromise!'
