Formula E – Mario Andretti blames Montagny

Franck Montagny is still awaiting final sanction following a drug test that came back positive during the Putrajaya ePrix in Malaysia held on November 22. The Canal+ consultant was provisionally suspended from all sporting competitions and admitted having little hope of getting back behind the wheel in racing. The French pilot thus stepped aside to be replaced by Jean-Éric Vergne, thanked at the end of last year by Red Bull.

Mario Andretti, Michael's father who is none other than the owner of the Formula E team in which Franck Montagny was involved, was particularly angry with the former Super Aguri driver. “If I had to decide, Mr. Montagny would be suspended for life », declared the 1978 world champion of F1 in World. “There are always bad apples but there are no drug problems in motor racing. The fact that Montagny got caught proves that the control system is working. »
