We just spoke with a slightly satisfied Jos Verstappen from the Nurburgring.
"We are fighting for the last row positions. If you beat your team mate it makes you feel good. It is even more satisfying when more cars join the backmarkers, but this was only due to that particular driver himself" according to Jos, who indicates that the fight with Justin Wilson is not the first thing on his mind. "But" he adds "if I have a choice I prefer to be in front of him instead of behind him."

This morning Jos had some electronical problems. "That problem took a lot of time to fix and therefore we were able to do so little laps. Nevertheless we tried several setups and I think we found the right one for the race." He did not want clarify the pitstop strategy, but according to Jos both Minardi drivers had plenty of fuel in their cars.
