http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=38475 He says he rejected testing roles for this season. I think he will find it hard to walk straight into a seat in 2008 with all the talent coming through and he was beaten by Albers last season. |

Was he? You see, Albers IMO made just as little impact. Only reason why Albers is staying is because he is Dutch. I would be surprised to see Monteiro return...in 2005 I'd say he did quite well considering, but last year, no. |

Tiago deserves to still be in F1. He has more talent than Liuzzi! |

I wouldnt say so Liuzzi won the f3000 title before he went to redbull and clearly has alot of talent i think he will be much improved this year after a full years experience under his belt. Albers last year i would say was much better than Monteiro especially towards the end of the season he usually got through to Q2. I think he genuinely deserves his place in f1 and if he gets a break in a better team he should have quite a long career in f1. |

I was disappointed to see Monteiro without a seat - he impressed me in 2005 (his drive at Spa was particularly good, drive of the day in my opinion). In 2006, though, something was lacking; maybe if he'd accepted a testing role he would be in with a better chance of a race seat for 2008, but as it stands it's unlikely he'll be back. |

Talking of accepting a test drive and later getting a race drive, i wonder if Barrichello is so poor again this season then will Klien get his seat in 08? |

It's certainly a possibility - I think the year away will help Klien focus himself and he will come back a better racer. |

Yea he is still young and has a few years of experience, he has proved he can be quick and with a years testing i think puting him in the honda for 08 would be a good move. |

Montiero is underrated. Give him a good car, and he will do well. |
