Tiago Monteiro

Tiago Vagaroso da Costa Monteiro (; born 24 July 1976) is a Portuguese professional racing driver. He competed in Formula One between 2005 and 2006 for the Jordan Grand Prix, Midland and Spyker MF1 teams – all different iterations of the same team as it was bought by new owners during a two-year stint as part of the Formula One paddock. He is the only Portuguese driver to have scored a Formula One podium finish, a 3rd place behind the two Ferrari drivers during the controversial 2005 United States Grand Prix.

Monteiro started racing in the World Touring Car Championship in 2007 with Seat Sport, and remained with the Spanish manufacturer until 2012, when he switched to the new Honda team late in the season. He helped Honda to win the manufacturers' championship in 2013 and achieved his best drivers' championship finish of third in 2016. He was leading the drivers' standings after 12 races in 2017, but injuries sustained in a testing crash forced him to miss the rest of the season. He managed to recover from the career-threatening injuries to return full-time to the new WTCR series in 2019, which saw him achieve a victory in his home race. He raced in the series for three further seasons, claiming an additional win. He also won the Nürburgring 24 Hours in the TCR class in 2019 and 2020. Provided by Wikipedia
