I'm not quite sure why I've never done this before, but Tomahawk.pt on our forum highlighted it to me. If you take todays second free practice timesheets, and remove all the third drivers times, Tiago Monteiro was 9th fastest overall in the remaining list of 22 race drivers.

Proof of this is shown below. A pretty impressive days work from the Portuguese driver!
