Random F1-age

BBC driver profile of Jordan's Tiago Monteiro:
"Tiago Monteiro is unlikely to trouble the Formula One record books in his debut year in the sport with Jordan. ..."

Monteiro makes history for Portugal:
"Amid the controversy surrounding Sunday’s race at Indianapolis, Jordan’s Tiago Monteiro quietly entered the Formula One record books as the first Portuguese driver to finish on the podium. ..."

He's also the only driver in F1 this season to start and finish all 9 races so far. (To be fair, Sauber's Felipe Massa was 8 for 8.)

Oh, and this leaves BAR as the only team with no points so far this season. Ironic, since it's just this season they switched from Bridgestone to Michelin tyres. (And don't you bet they wish they hadn't...)

Jordan’s Tiago Monteiro quietly entered the Formula One record books as the first Portuguese driver to finish on the podium.

This is a bit easier to do when there are only six cars in the race, of course. :)

Oh, absolutely! (And to be fair, he wasn't exactly quiet about it.)

Still, one hopes the BBC will update their profile article. (Bonus points for using the words "freak" and "fluke" in as deadpan a manner as possible.)

Still, I found the juxtaposition so funny that I just had to share it.

There's another way Jordan (http://www.wiesenthal.com/site/apps/nl/content.asp?c=fwLYKnN8LzH&b=312458&content_id={20F63523-99F1-437A-82DD-1C7D84A3606A}&notoc=1) is in the news today....

Okay, yours is cooler.

As long as it's not this Jordan (http://www.ukjordan.com/), she's just scary.

Oh, nice backside, but pretty much boring, especially facially. I'll bet she's not much of a conversationalist either.

She's also the absolute bottom of the celebrity barrel - as far as I know she has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Quite possibly the tackiest human alive. (I'll see if I can come up with some links better illustrative material, but NOT while I'm at the office!)
