Jos is ready for Montreal

Published on 05 June 2001 by Verstappen Info Page

Last Sunday Jos and his wife Sophie flew to Canada together with Michael Schumacher and his wife. A bit early but Jos likes Montreal and nothing is better than preparing yourself for a Grand Prix without jet lag.

Not only the city but also the street cicrcuit is very much loved by Jos; last year he came fifth. "I am looking forward to the race, it is a circuit where we have to brake very late to be fast and that is my style. Hopefully we will be at least as good as last year."
A year ago Jos drove a magnificent race on a wet track where he fought for position with Wurz, Trulli and Ralf Schumacher.
Mike Coughlan, technical director at OrangeArrows, thinks the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is made for the A22; "It is a circiot for medium downforce and very hard for the brakes and engine. We have tested tyres and parts in Magny Cours as preparation. Our car suits the circuit and we are looking forward to the race."
