jjoseph 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 After having beaten the record recently held by Jackie Stewart for over 40 years by recording the most number of consecutive races finished by a rookie driver in the Formula One series, Tiago Monteiro can now seriously consider the fact that his name will appear in the Guinness book of the records. In fact, when the Portuguese driver crossed the finish line in the German Grand Prix last weekend, he notched up twelve successive finishes even if it seemed doubtful at one stage of the race, with Tiago acknowledging that he though his Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paguas 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 TIAGO MONTEIRO RULES ... He is a good driver, and knows what kind of car he is driving and what to expect of it.

Kennye 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 First a podium finish and now this, it's been a good year for Tiago... If he stays consistent, he might get picked up by a better team and have some success. He has been one of the better back markers. I'm happy for him, he seems to really enjoy racing. Don't know much about him other than from race weekends, guess it's time to surf so I can read up on him as a person. and WELCOME paguas, glad to have you on board!!

Null 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 er... yeah.. podium finish maybe but there's no chance in hell of that happening again realistically is there? Tiago's ok, but despite his amount of finishes, I still reckon Albers is the best rookie driver and that Tiago isn't really anything special, just lucky he has a reliable car and he was lucky he didn't go out with his smash with JV the other weekend.

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 I refuse to say there was even a USGP. I feel embaressed for even supporting F1 after that. So no it wasnt a podium finish, and to be perfectly frank, tiago hasnt been very impressive this year. consisten yes but noting at all special! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad he's made the book, but really, that's about it. He has got a bad car, but he's still against an awful team-mate, he's bound to look quite good. JS.

Senna 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Yes, Monteiro has done well to stay out of trouble and deserves to be the most successful rookie driver in F1 on one statistical measure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fixed it here I was being SARCASTIC with this comment. JR. I tell people that I have been to all 5 1/2 USGP's held at Indy and anyone that knows F!

cavallino 2 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 there was a quote from kolles in f1 racing that NK is quicker but he doesnt have the car to prove it. TM is unexciting, personally I'd rather see NK sliding than TM's laps. he wont get too far in a good car driving like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buttonfan 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 I think Tiago will get further in F1 than NK will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayStorm 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 That will probably be the case, the fact is. We can't really get too excited about bottom of the grid drivers whom are just average and are driving a rubbish car. JS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
