Tiago Monteiro is looking forward to race again at Indianapolis. In his debut season with Jordan last season the Portuguese MF1 Racing driver scored his first podium at Indy. Even though it happened under special circumstances he is proud to have made it on top of the podium.

Looking ahead of the race at Indianapolis Monteiro said: "This is a very special place for me. I took my first F1 podium here after what was admittedly a very strange race, but that doesn't diminish the pride I feel in my team for having achieved it."

"I've always loved Indy because it's also where my Champ Car team was based when I raced in that series in 2003, so I have a few friends there, as well. There is so much history at this track and it's also a nice place to drive, with a very technical infield and then this long, incredibly fast straight. I really enjoyed driving there in the past and I'm looking forward to doing it again."
