The Colombian feels Russell has the edge over his colleague in qualifying however with regards to the amazing prix, that is the point at which the seven-time previous World Champion shows his class.
The details don't uphold that, with the passing straight on score for the season being 3-3 and Russell holding a noteworthy lead over Hamilton in the Drivers' standings.
However, Montoya highlighted the Spanish Grand Prix, in which Hamilton recuperated to complete fifth after an early crash with Kevin Magnussen that left him well off the rear of the pack, as proof that the 37-year-old's race speed can in any case act as an example to Russell - who ran in the main gathering all through in Barcelona and wound up on the platform in third.
That came after a group radio message from Hamilton in the midst of his initial issues in which he had proposed resigning the vehicle to protect the motor.
"I think George, on one-lap pace, is improving than Lewis - he's getting more out of the vehicle on one lap," expressed Montoya during the 'Any Driven Monday' program on Sky F1.
"In any case, you take a gander at what Lewis did on Sunday, it's sort of odd that he went on the radio and told the person 'we should leave the vehicle' and sort of surrendered.
"I comprehend the reason why he did that, being at the back and believing essentially nothing remains to be finished and the vehicle hasn't been serious the last couple of races.
"So I think it was an unexpected treat for him how speedy the vehicle was through the race and in the event that you take a gander at it, I suppose in the event that he didn't have the occurrence on the principal lap he likely would have gotten an opportunity to come out on top in the race.
"The other thing that is unique, I think he got energized partially through the race when he began arriving at the places and he saw his speed being truly fast. I think it got him eager to run increasingly hard and harder, and it's good times!
"At the point when Lewis is on his A-game, he's hard. I figure George can finish a work on one lap however he has a long way to go from Lewis on race pace. Same as when Valtteri Bottas was there, the speed of Lewis in the races was mind blowing."
Montoya additionally talked about the inspiration of Hamilton in attempting to retaliate from such an ominous situation in Spain when he has 103 race triumphs and seven Drivers' titles to his name.
"Indeed, consider it, you just got hit on your most memorable lap and you did an entire in-lap with a punctured tire," said the previous Williams and McLaren F1 driver.
"You must proceed to do a refueling break that consumed a large chunk of the day to change since when the tire is level, they can't get the jack under the vehicle. You would think there is likely front wing harm and everything.
"So by then, you start the race and you are 60-70 seconds behind the pioneer. It's like 'what are we doing, what are we going to accomplish, would we say we are doing this to get two or three focuses?'
"Whenever you take a gander at it according to Lewis' perspective, I comprehend it since he's utilized to vehicles that can come out on top in races and score 25 focuses consistently. Yet, while you're scoring for eighth to tenth spot, it's hard.
"Be that as it may, the group settled on the ideal decision advising him to remain in it and, stunningly enough, he truly didn't surrender. At the point when they let him know he expected to go, he continued ahead with the gig and it was great to see."
