New support for Jos: Holland Media Group

Published on 11 December 2002 by Huub Rothengatter

Jos Verstappen's return to Formula 1 will be supported by the Holland Media Group (HMG), which is the mother company of the Dutch TV channel RTL.

"We are extremely happy and proud with the support from HMG" according to Huub Rothengatter, Jos's manager. He continued: "It is fantastic that next to the existing sponsors a company like HMG, not one of the least, has decided to support Jos's return to Formula 1. This reaffirms that Jos is still very popular."

During the last few days the meaning of term 'double Dutch' was changing. The general press was mentioning rumours that Minardi, with whom Jos is in negotiations, might have 2 Dutch drivers. Huub Rothengatter's comment on this: "I don't know how that rumour surfaced, unbelievable. It was not our idea, that is clear. We do not support that story."
"On top of that you should look up the term 'double Dutch' in a dictionary, it means: talking nonsense, gibberish. Let's stick to that."
