Monteiro to Jordan... one seat left!

Monty, he should have been with us! GCM will not be happy... no Bruni, no Monty. Mr Lego himself Kiesa likely to get the seat. This was our chance to sign a real driver and take some big steps forward, alas I don't think Kiesa can do that.

*Apologies, didn't see it mentioned in the thread entitled 'Karntocan to Midland'

    Read the Midland F1 thread !!!;)

    Maldanado still has a shot..
  • Minardus
    Maldonado or Van Hooijdonck might be 3rd driver.
  • minardirule
    we should still have had tiggy:(
  • Jello_Biafra
    I'm confident that Albers is better.
  • forzaminardi
    c'mon guys, Monteiro might have the reputation but he didn't really blow us away when he was testing was he?
  • Homer
    No, he wasn't! He was faster than Zlobin, and that's all. And yes, I'm sure that our driver line-up is much better then Jordans. Minardi will have a great engine and if the chassis is only half as good as Stoddie said, we will kick Jordans ass.
  • Jello_Biafra
    Even the AtlasF1 board, known for being rabidly anti-Minardi, agree that Albers is better than either of Jordan's pilots.

    "c'mon guys, Monteiro might have the reputation but he didn't really blow us away when he was testing was he?"

    Hang on, didn't he beat Gimmi's time from Misano last year??? GCM was impressed with his talents, his tech feedback was pretty bloody good from the reports, according to Tilley and the engineers. That tells me something right there.
  • c13
    He didn't beat Brunis time, here are the times from the 3 drivers last year.

    Gianmaria Bruni 1:09.627
    Zsolt Baumgartner 1:11.080
    Tiago Monteiro 1:13.240
  • Minardus
    But were the weather and track conditionsthe same ????
  • Jello_Biafra
    That would be impossible to say unless those three were on track at the same moment.
  • Minardus
    They werent'! That's why I'm asking!!!
  • Jello_Biafra
    Then the answer is no. Track conditions can never be precisely the same unless we're talking about cars being on the track at the same time.
  • Manni
    Anyone who has seen Albers drtive in the DTMs knows that he is a good steerer and is really fast! Good wheel to wheel as well. I'd put him up against the thin indian and the peri peri Porto anyday
  • oznomad
    My mistake I thought Tiggy pulled out a 1:09.6 somewhere Obviously not, I'll go hide in my corner again now.

    Apologies RJ, I should know better than to question our Eurpoean leader.
