Tiago Monteiro: “ My goals for 2006 are to do even better than 2005 obviously. I want to use the experience of 2005 to evolve and take advantage of it to score some more points. It is good that we are working early in the year on the new car in order to be able to have a competitive machine right from the beginning. I would like to have the car to be able to score points on a more regular basis and I will do my best to give those points to the team!”
