Juan Pablo Montoya

Colombian racing driver; former Formula One driver

Juan Pablo Montoya made a career in sport at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Juan Pablo Montoya as Colombian racing driver; former Formula One driver.

Juan Pablo Montoya was born at Bogotá in 1975. His recorded nationality is Colombia.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

He worked as racing automobile driver and formula one driver.

Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.

His work was formally recognised with the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year, NASCAR Rookie of the Year and Deportista del Año.

Working from Colombia shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Juan Pablo Montoya is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
