“Jos the Boss” Returns
posted in A1 Grand Prix |
“Jos the Boss” Verstappen will return to racing two years after leaving Formula One when he competes for the Jan Lammers owned Dutch A1GP team.
Verstappen1 who drove for Benetton, Arrows and Tyrrell-Ford in a varied Formula One career which ended at Minardi in 2003, will carry the flag of his home country Holland in what is being billed as the World Cup of motorsport. Verstappen recently attempted to catch on with the Champ Car series but failed to secure what he thought was a competitive ride.
“Of course it’s very unusual having to defend your country. The fact that next week I will climb into a bright orange car not to represent a team or a sponsor, but an entire population does make this very special,” Verstappen says of his new drive. “I find it an honour that I will be able to do this. Off course I do not have to explain to the real car - and race fans what the potential is of the combination Jan Lammers, Huub Rothengatter and Jos Verstappen.”
Verstappen is, by most accounts, the most popular driver in Holland and should be an excellent addition to the team.
