Didn't the only win he took in A1GP come about because he punted someone off or someone punted somebody else off too?

TBH

Nah, just a damn good drive.

Durban was a great street track, the African version of Monaco. Now if only WTCC could try to run there instead of Morocco..............

According to rumors he could have signed for Jordan in their better days. Eddie gave them an offer and Huub demanded that a extra 0 was added to the salary. Eddie send him away and never talked to him again.
He doesnt have to drive for free but in his position asking 10x more was also insane.

Williams wanted him as a replacement for Zanardi but wanted a results clause. They refused and Williams went for Button.

Verstappen could have gotten a few nice seats but he and Huub grossly overestimated themselves.

Seem to recall hearing something similar when he was offered a Champcar seat in 2005. He did a test, impressed the HVM team, Got offered the seat & then his manager demanded more so the seat went to someone else with Jos going to A1GP.

I also recall that he got dropped from the A1GP ride with the seat holder Jan Lammers talking about how Jos had too many people around him looking out for themselfs.


I always felt that Jos was better than he got credit for, I remember reading about the test with Footwork in 1993 where his fastest lap at Estoril would have put him top 8 in qualifying.
Given how he was thrown in without much time in the 1994 car I always felt he did fairly well that year. He pulled out some stunning performances in the Simtek in 1995 given how crap the car was & likewise in the Arrows in early '96 & 2000/2001.

The thing I always remember is just how good he was when it rained, He had some stunning wet weather performances especially in the Arrows in 2000/2001.
