He wants to win it all, our Jos. Today we had the scheduled tram race between Jos Verstappen and Paul Stoddart. With some smart braking actions Jos left a disappointed Paul Stoddart behind him. "If he drives like that on Sunday, I don't have to worry about anything" according to the runner-up who was still very impressed.

This morning our birthday boy was woke up to a large chocolate cake with 31 candles. It is Jos's birthday. Raymond Vermeulen watched it all and he would like to be the one jumping out of the cake. Minardi didn't give its approval for this plan, afraid for the shock it would create.
