Tiago Monteiro finished his 25th Grand Prix of his career and
classified in 16th position at today's Spanish Grand Prix, the sixth
F1 Grand Prix of the 2006 season. " I made a good start, recovered
from a spin on lap three caused by Franck Montagny (Super Aguri F1)
who hit from the back after I had passed him and brought my Midland F1
car home in sixteenth. This is my fifth finish of my 2006 season.
"It is a shame because
it messes the whole race strategy, but fortunately the car was not
damaged in the spin. I lost quite a bit of time. Our pace was good and
I was easily lapping faster than my team mate. My fastest lap in the
race is 1.19.265 on lap 28. I had a battle with Ralf Schumacher after
he pitted for a new front wing and was keeping him behind me until I
pitted on lap 27."
"Half-way through the race I was up in seventeenth and running
consistently until making my second pit stop on lap 48. I got up to
sixteenth by the end which is a good result."
