Formula One career

Monteiro at the controversial 2005 US GP.

After the Midland Group bought Jordan Grand Prix, Monteiro was announced as a full-time race driver alongside Indian Narain Karthikeyan. In the 2005 United States Grand Prix he achieved his first podium finish in farcical circumstances when all but 3 teams pulled out due to arguments over tyre safety (the Michelin-equipped teams pulled out of the race, not taking their place on the grid. The Bridgestone teams were the only ones to run). Monteiro finished 3rd out of just 6 drivers.

At the podium ceremony, at which none of the scheduled presenters were present, Ferrari drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello quietly accepted their awards, and quickly exited. However, Monteiro stayed behind to celebrate his first podium finish alone amid the booing fans, a descision which although initially controversial, was latterly met with some sympathy from the F1 fraternity.

As of the 2005 United States Grand Prix, Tiago is now the most successful Portuguese driver ever in Formula 1 racing. Pedro Lamy held this record before Tiago with 1 point and 6th place at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix with Minardi. Also of note, as of the 2005 Belgian Grand Prix (where he also scored another point), Tiago had finished every race of the 2005 season, and holds the record for consecutive finishes for a rookie driver in F1, taking this from Jackie Stewart (1965 season) and Olivier Panis (1994 season), who finished his first 6 races. At the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix, however, engine failure brought his run to end. Despite this, however, by finishing the last two races of the season in Japan and China, he still managed to break the record for the most finishes in a single season. Michael Schumacher finished all 17 races of the 2002 season, whilst both he and Rubens Barrichello finished 17 out of 18 races in 2004. 11th place at the 2005 Chinese Grand Prix meant that he had finished 18 out 19 races.

Near the end of the 2005 season Tiago was involved in an incident with Colombian driver Juan Pablo Montoya in the final laps of the Turkish Grand Prix, the crash damaged Juan Pablo's car and caused him to lose control of it on the penultimate lap letting rival Fernando Alonso through and ruining McLaren's chance of a first 1-2 finish since 2000.

In 2006 Midland re-signed Monteiro to partner Christijan Albers. The two endured a much less successful season, with their car, the M16, not even registering a single point. In the 18 races, Monteiro retired from seven, with his best finish being at the Hungarian Grand Prix where he finished ninth, just outside the points-scoring positions in the 2006 season.
