Tiago Vagaroso da Costa Monteiro (Portuguese pronunciation:[tiˈaɣumõˈtɐjɾu]; born 24 July 1976) is a Portugueseracing driver who competed inFormula One from2005 to2006, andWorld Touring Car from2007 to2022.[a]
Born and raised inPorto, Monteiro began his racing career in 1997, winning several races in thePorsche Carrera Cup France. He advanced toFrench Formula Three the following year, claiming runner-up in2000—where he finished second in thePau Grand Prix—and2001. After full seasons inInternational F3000 andChamp Car, he finished runner-up toHeikki Kovalainen in theWorld Series by Nissan withCarlin. A former member of theRF1 Driver Programme, Monteiro signed forJordan in2005, debuting in Formula One at theAustralian Grand Prix alongsideNarain Karthikeyan; in his rookie season, he became thefirst Portuguese driver to achieve apodium finish with third at the controversialUnited States Grand Prix. He retained his position at the re-brandedMidland in2006 withChristijan Albers, scoring zero points in theM16 with a season-best ninth inHungary. Replaced byAdrian Sutil atSpyker, Monteiro departed Formula One with one podium and sevenchampionship points.
Monteiro joinedSEAT in theWorld Touring Car Championship in2007, remaining with them until2012 as he claimed several victories across his2008 and2010 campaigns. He switched toHonda late that year, helping them win theWorld Manufacturers' Championship in2013 and achieving his highest championship finish of third toJosé María López andYvan Muller in2016. He led the standings after 12 races in2017 before serious injuries sustained in a testing crash ended his season. He returned full-time to the re-brandedWorld Touring Car Cup in2019, where he achieved victory inhis home race. He contested the final three seasons of the series before its collapse at the end of2022. During this period, he also won theNürburgring 24 Hours in theTCR class in2019 and2020.
Outside of motor racing, Monteiro ownedGP2 andGP3 teamOcean Racing Technology from 2008 to 2012. He serves as themanager forAntónio Félix da Costa, who won theFormula E World Championship in2019–20, and his sonNoah.

Born inPorto, Monteiro was inspired by his father to begin racing, and drove in the 1997 French Porsche Carrera Cup. He took five wins and fivepole positions to become B-class champion and rookie of the year. In 1998, he competed in the FrenchF3 Championship, finishing 12th overall and taking the rookie of the year award. He continued in the championship in 1999, taking one win and three other podium positions to finish sixth overall. He also competed in theLe Mans 24 Hours race, finishing 17th overall and sixth in the GT2 class. In the International Renault Finals held atEstoril, Monteiro claimed the win after taking pole position and the fastest lap of the race.
In 2000, Monteiro again competed in French F3, this time finishing second in the championship after taking four wins throughout the season. He also competed in the single Formula 3 European Championship double-header race, finishing second overall with one win atSpa-Francorchamps. He also competed in a couple of one-off events, coming second in theKorea Super Prix and ninth at the famousMacau Grand Prix. In theLamborghini Super Trophy, he achieved the fastest lap atMagny-Cours, and took pole position and the fastest lap atLaguna Seca Raceway. In 2001, Monteiro again finished second overall in the French F3 Championship after taking six pole positions, four wins and four podiums. Also competing in the French GT Championship, he managed four pole positions, two class wins and five podium finishes in the GTB class. A one-off entry in the Formula France series saw him win both races, and in the Andros Trophy, he did one fastest lap with a best finishing position of fourth.
In2002, Monteiro stepped up to theF3000 Championship with theSuper Nova team, taking five top-ten finishes on his way to 12th in the championship standings. He also completed theRenault F1 Driver Development Scheme, and had his first taste of a Formula One car, testing with the Renault team atBarcelona. In2003, he joined Fittipaldi Dingman Racing for theChamp Car World Series,[1] achieving a front row start inMexico City and leading two races. He finished the year with 10 top-ten finishes, scoring 29 points to rank 15th overall in the championship. Monteiro was signed up as an officialMinardiF1 test driver for the2004 season, but also competed in theNissan World Series withCarlin Motorsport. He was named Rookie of the Year after finishing second in the championship behindHeikki Kovalainen, and was ranked fifth inAutosport magazine's top ten drivers in the Formula One "breeding ground" championships.
Ironically, one of Monteiro's surnames, "Vagaroso", means "slow" inPortuguese.

After theMidland Group boughtJordan Grand Prix, Monteiro was announced as a full-time race driver alongside IndianNarain Karthikeyan for the2005 season.[2]
_qualifying_at_USGP_2005.jpg)
In theUnited States Grand Prix, Monteiro achieved his only podium finish in controversial circumstances. Due to concerns over tyre safety, the Michelin-equipped teams pulled out of the race, not taking their place on the grid, and the race was contested only by the three Bridgestone-equipped teams.[3] Monteiro finished third out of six drivers.[4]
At the podium ceremony, at which none of the scheduled dignitaries were present, Ferrari driversMichael Schumacher andRubens Barrichello quietly accepted their awards, and quickly exited. Monteiro stayed behind to celebrate his first podium finish alone.[5] The fans in attendance, while booing the majority of the ceremony, rewarded the Portuguese driver with a round of applause.
As of the2005 United States Grand Prix, Monteiro is currently the most successful Portuguese driver in Formula One history.Pedro Lamy had previously held this record before with one point and sixth place achieved at the1995 Australian Grand Prix withMinardi. Also of note, as of theBelgian Grand Prix (where he also scored another point), Monteiro had finished every race of the 2005 season, breaking the record for consecutive finishes for a rookie driver in Formula One, held byJackie Stewart (1965 season) andOlivier Panis (1994 season), who finished their first six races. This record stood until the2013 season, when British driverMax Chilton finished all 19 races.
Shortly before the2005 Turkish Grand Prix, Monteiro suffered a toothache that was severe enough to prevent him taking part in the race. However, his team principalColin Kolles, a qualified dentist, performed emergency root canal surgery and Monteiro was cleared to race.[6] He finished 15th following a collision withJuan Pablo Montoya, which resulted in the Colombian running wide on the penultimate lap and losing second place toFernando Alonso, thus preventing Montoya'sMcLaren team scoring its first 1–2 finish since the2000 Austrian Grand Prix.
In2006, Midland re-signed Monteiro to partnerDutchmanChristijan Albers. The two endured a largely uncompetitive season, with theirM16 car failing to score a single point, and the pair were regularly outpaced during the year byToro Rosso and occasionallySuper Aguri. In the 18 races, Monteiro retired from six, with his best finish being at the wet-dryHungarian Grand Prix where he finished ninth, just outside the points-scoring positions with Albers finishing behind in tenth.
On 21 December 2006, it was announced that Monteiro would not be driving for the newly renamedSpyker team in2007. The highly rated GermanAdrian Sutil was instead signed on a multi-year contract.[7] Monteiro had briefly held discussions about a drive forToro Rosso,[8] but these hopes were ended when the Faenza outfit confirmedVitantonio Liuzzi as a driver at the launch of theSTR2 car on 13 February 2007,[9] followed byScott Speed at aBahrain testing session on 24 February, leaving Monteiro without a drive for the season.
On 6 March 2007, it was announced that Monteiro would join theSEAT Sport team and would drive in theWorld Touring Car Championship (WTCC) with aSEAT León.[10]
Monteiro was forced to wait until the second round of the2007 season atZandvoort to make his debut, as the contract was signed a few days before the season opener inCuritiba. However, he took three podium finishes and a pole position during a successful first season in which he was ranked 11th overall.
In2008, driving the TDi version of theSEAT León, Monteiro took his first win atPuebla in Mexico, and later in the season he won the second race on home ground atEstoril in Portugal. These, other points finishes and a fastest lap during the season, saw him finish 12th overall in the final standings, which was won bySEAT team-mateYvan Muller with the team also achieving the manufacturer's title.
Monteiro stayed withSEAT in2009, and scored two podiums inValencia andBrno en route to finishing ninth overall in the drivers standings, contributing to SEAT winning the manufacturers championship. On 13 January 2010, SEAT announced that it would be pulling out of theWTCC from at least the2010 season. However, on 19 February 2010, it was announced that he would partner 2009 teammatesGabriele Tarquini andJordi Gene along withTom Coronel in the renamedSR-Sport team run bySunred Engineering, which received significant funding from SEAT Sport.[11] He achieved five podium finishes during the season, which included wins at his home event inPortimão and later in the year atValencia. This was by far his most successful season in recent years as he finished in fifth place overall in the drivers' standings.
On 11 February 2011, it was confirmed that Monteiro would once again drive forSunred Engineering in theforthcoming season, partnering rookiesAleksei Dudukalo andPepe Oriola, as well as 2010 teammatesMichel Nykjaer,Fredy Barth and 2009 championGabriele Tarquini.[12]
Monteiro remained with the team for2012 under the "Tuenti Racing Team" banner, where he was joined by 2011 teammatePepe Oriola and rookie Andrea Barlesi.[13]

Monteiro joined theHonda Racing Team JAS team from their WTCC debut at the2012 Race of Japan, racing the newHonda Civic.[14] He scored the first podium finish for the Honda Civic in the WTCC at the2012 Guia Race of Macau, finishing third in race one.
For the full2013 season, Monteiro was joined by teammateGabriele Tarquini. Monteiro went on to take his first win with Honda at Shanghai. Additionally, he scored five further podiums that season to help Honda win the manufacturers' world championship.[15]
For2014, Monteiro scored 5 podiums and earned 1 pole position on his way to 5th in the final championship standings. Monteiro stayed partnered with Honda and teammate Gabriele Tarquini for2015. He would score a dominant win in Russia and a win in Honda's home race in Japan.[16]
In2016, Monteiro would take wins in Slovakia and Portugal. He took five further podiums to finish third in the championship, his best result yet.
In2017, after taking two wins and five other podium finishes, Monteiro was leading the championship comfortably after 12 races, until he sustained serious injuries in an accident caused by a brake failure at Barcelona, Spain in September during testing.[17] Because of the injuries sustained in the crash, he couldn't participate in the remaining races of the season.[18]
In2018, the series became theWorld Touring Car Cup (WTCR), and Monteiro was due to switch fromJAS Motorsport toBoutsen Ginion Racing and drive the new FK8 Honda Civic Type R TCR, but he was not 100% recovered from his injuries to race in the first eight rounds. He would return to the sport at Suzuka, Japan in November 2018, for the penultimate round of the WTCR calendar, the same track where he made his debut for Honda in 2012 for the WTCC.[19] He was greeted with a round of applause from fellow drivers as he was let out first to the track in Free Practice 1.[20] Due to medical advice he didn't take part in the Season Finale at Macau.
Monteiro was set for a full season comeback in2019 and switch teams fromBoutsen Ginion Racing toKCMG, driving the Honda Civic Type R TCR. After a tough start to the season, he would take his first World Touring Car win since the accident in his home race in Portugal.[21]
Monteiro became interested in team ownership during 2008, and held discussions with theBCN Competición team in theGP2 Series on the subject of a possible buy-out.[22] On 27 November he announced that he had purchased the team and renamed it "Ocean Racing Technology".[23] The team had a successful firstyear in 2009, including a win in theBelgian feature race with Portuguese driverAlvaro Parente. The team also competed in theGP2 Asia Series at the end of the year and theGP3 Series. In the winter of 2012–13, the team withdrew from GP2 and GP3 due to a lack of funding.[24]
Monteiro manages the career of fellow Portuguese racing driverAntónio Félix da Costa.[25]

On 23 April 2010, it was announced that Monteiro would compete as a "guest" driver in theGold Coast 600 round of theV8 Supercar Championship Series inSurfers Paradise from 22–24 October 2010. He shared aHolden VE Commodore withTony D'Alberto, with the car being set up by theTony D'Alberto Racing team under theCentaur Racing banner.[26] The pair recorded a DNF and a 17th-place finish in their two races.
On 16 August 2008, Monteiro married the Portuguese model Diana Pereira.[27] The couple have a daughter, Mel (born in February 2008)[28] and a son, Noah (born in November 2009).[29] After more than a decade together, the couple divorced in 2019.[30] Monteiro is now dating Alexandra Carvalho since 2020.[31]
† As Monteiro was a guest driver, he was ineligible for championship points.
