Sebastián Montoya lived a difficult day this Saturday in the ESCRNT race of the Formula 2 Hungary Grand Prix.
Although he had managed to climb some positions after starting from the bottom of the grill, his car suffered a technical failure in the return 22 that forced him to leave.
Hungary has been a difficult stage for the Colombian, who is going through a bad streak in the championship and urgently needs to rebuild the course.

Friday's classification was not favorable either. Montoya had registered a quick lap that placed him in a better position, but the commissioners annulled him the time to exceed the track limits. In addition, he was sanctioned with three positions to obstruct another pilot, which condemned him to the 21st starting position for the two weekend competitions.
A hard punishment that forced him to row from behind in a circuit in which the overtaking is very complicated.
After several races in which he had shown signs of rebound, the Colombian pilot now faces a string of adverse results. This Sunday, in the main race, Montoya will not only depend on his expertise at the wheel to try to recover positions, but also that his car responds in conditions, after the mechanical problem he suffered in the ESPRent test.
The main race of the Hungary Grand Prix will be this Sunday, August 3 at 3:00 am (Colombia time). Fans can follow live broadcast through ESPN, Disney+ and F1TV.
