CSS Stellar Management Ltd are delighted to announce the signing of the Formula One driver Tiago Monteiro. Tiago is the race-driver for the Midland F1 Team and will compete in the 2006 Championship in a Toyota-powered car alongside team-mate Christijan Albers.

The 29 year-old Portuguese driver is a relative latecomer to Formula One, having only made his debut for the Jordan F1 Team in 2005. However, his ability was plain to see and he broke Jackie Stewart’s long-standing rookie record by finishing 18 of his 19 races (15 of them in succession) and also secured a podium place at the US Grand Prix, becoming the first Portuguese ever to stand on the F1 podium. Tiago’s F1 performances were rewarded by Autosport.com and he received their prestigious “Rookie of the Year” Award for 2005.

Speaking on this latest signing, Tim Sice, Managing Director of CSS Stellar Management, added “we are delighted to sign Tiago as a client. He showed tremendous potential in his first year in Formula 1 and we hope to assist him in realising his potential and securing the commercial benefits that are available to him now and in the future.” 1 February 2006
