Burgess compares the former team-mates
Midland`s MF1 team has defended dumping Narain Karthikeyan after the Indian`s rookie F1 season in 2005.
Sporting director Adrian Burgess suggests that Tiago Monteiro, Karthikeyan`s Jordan teammate who has been retained, is a better bet.
``(Narain) would have occasional lapses in concentration,`` Burgess said, ``whereas Tiago wouldn`t.``

He also explained why, often, Karthikeyan seemed quicker in qualifying than the Portuguese in the sister car.

Burgess said of Monteiro: ``He likes to get some miles under his belt before he goes all out.

``You knew that as soon as it came to the first race, over a full hour and a half, (Narain) couldn`t drive every single lap like a qualifying lap.``
