A brave pairing, but realistically the drives were only ever going to go to
newcomers in what's effectively a transitional season. Both have some
form in junior formulae, I don't necessarily see a pair of future world
champions here but I think at least Tiago will probably have a reasonable
F1 future.

Look for a lot of 'needle' between them to see who'll keep the seat in
'06!

Wasn't it Kovalainen, the guy who beat Schumi et al at the Race of
Champions? He's way better than either of them, and possibly contracted to
Renault.

It was Heiki Kovalainen and he's signed with Arden to do GP2 this year.
I'd say that Christian Horner has him lined up for Red Bull Racing at
some point in the future.
I can never quite follow how they choose people to go into F1, unless >of course Monteiro has money...

Tiago finished 2nd in the Nissan championship (Karthikeyan finished 6th)
so I'd say that Tiago deserves his chance as much as any other driver.

Too late, I bet he's crossed you off the Christmas card list already.

I'd say Massa is a better bet than Heidfeld or Webber.

Yeah, pay drivers are the pits. Remember that German bloke whose manager
told a few lies to get him a seat in a Jordan, I wonder what he's doing
now...........?

A) If you're going to post about someone at least have the courtesy to
spell their name properly.

B) Try learning something about a driver before posting your assumptions
here.
