He was a magnet for trouble in the first half of the season, but improved immeasurably once he settled down under the tutelage of former world champion Emerson Fittipaldi.
Monteiro's talent finally blossomed last season when he joined Trevor Carlin's Nissan World Series outfit, won five races and finished as runner-up in the championship to Finnish ace Heikki Kovalainen.
Those who have followed their careers closely reckon Monteiro and team-mate Narain Karthikeyan are likely to be well-matched, with the Indian perhaps having the edge on sheer qualifying pace but Monteiro being fitter, less accident-prone and more technically astute.
