Tiago Monteiro tests Formula E car

Former Jordan and Midland driver Tiago Monteiro has become the latest ex-Formula One driver to sample Formula E machinery after he tested for the Mahindra team at the Circuit de Calafat in Spain last week.

TouringCarTimes reports that the Portuguese driver, who finished third in the controversial 2005 US Grand Prix, refused to comment on the test, stating that his main focus is the FIA World Touring Car Championship, where he currently sits second in the standings driving for Honda.

Monteiro's WTCC title rival, former Renault test driver and one-time USF1 hopeful Jose Maria Lopez, has already confirmed a switch to the all-electric series with DS Virgin Racing.
