Tiago Monteiro’s comeback win from near-death was one of motorsport’s greatest moments
On Wednesday 6th September 2017, Honda Racing driver Tiago Monteiro was involved in one of the most horrific crashes in touring car history, and just under two years later, the now 42-year-old took victory in front of his home crowd at Vila Real in Portugal, culminating in one of the most passionate and exciting podium celebrations ever seen. (That’s, ever seen).
Tiago Monteiro’s recovery from his testing crash at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya hasn’t been as high profile as a number of motor racing recuperations. The most well-known being that of Polish Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica, who’s made his Formula 1 return this year after a horrific crash in 2011 in the Ronde di Andora rally which has limited him to occasional rally and closed wheel racing events until this year.
There’s also DTM driver-turned open wheel racer, Robert Wickens, who’s also recovering from horrific spinal injuries sustained in an IndyCar crash at Pocono in August 2018.

Race Report - McLaren's sweet and sour Turkey
With two laps to go before the end of the Turkish Grand Prix, things were looking as good as they get for McLaren. It was, at that moment, a question of maximum points. Eighteen of them. Amazingly, only one team has scored maximum points at a race this year and Ferrari's 1-2 at Indianapolis is not a chapter that should be remembered fondly in the annals of the sport. If Raikkonen and Montoya had held station then Renault would have ended the day with 128 points and McLaren would have had 123. And in the Drivers' Championship Fernando Alonso would have had 93 points to Raikkonen's 71. It is still a tall order for Raikkonen to win the title this year, too many points have been thrown away but 22 points is easier to get than 24 points.
After the race the McLaren press statements blamed Tiago Monteiro, which is easy, but Monteiro was having none of it. And nor should he. Montoya's habit of doing silly things continued. It was clear from the cloud of tyre smoke that came off the McLaren just after it passed Monteiro that Montoya had stood on the brakes rather dramatically. That was necessary because there was a corner coming up, which Montoya appeared to have forgotten about when he went past the Jordan. Monteiro did what he coul
