Midland's Monteiro made of metal
My favourite reviews of race weekends normally come from the 'Facts & Stats' column at Autosport.com (I think Ted is your favourite, Alex?), and this week it ended with two fascinating and funny figures. Firstly:
"There's no solid evidence suggesting Midland's Tiago Monteiro is made of Teflon, but he's developed a remarkable ability to emerge unscathed from on-track incidents, and Sunday was his 24th finish in 26 races, despite having two collisions."
And secondly:
"With safety car driver Bernd Maylander celebrating his 35th birthday on Monday, he has the not-inconsiderable bragging rights of having led the F1 field for more laps this year in his AMG Mercedes (19 laps) than the McLaren-Mercedes team (15 laps)."
Great stuff.

Tiego was great when he was intereviewed on Saturday as well. I can't remember what he said but he seemed a really nice guy. We really haven't heard very much from him but I think he might be somebody we hear more from. It's difficult to tell if he'll be around forever as a driver I'd like to see him progress but who knows? At the very least with the consistancy he has he'll make a fantastic test driver a la wurtz.
I have to admit that I don't subscribe to Autosport so I can't tell. I probably should re-consider that option.
