Bernie Ecclestone will have negotiations tomorrow with Sport 7 and the Holland Media Group (RTL 4, 5 and Veronica) about who gets the Formula 1 broadcastiong license in The Netherlands as was told today by Olav Mol on Speed & Design. He might even make the decision tomorrow about who is to get the rights to at least put an end to this uncertainty. Just as was the case yesterday Speed & Design was extremely well visited. The climax of the evening was reached during the fanclubmeeting with Jos Verstappen and Olav Mol. Visitors are able to ask Jos questions and when you're in luck you even get the chance to drive a karting match with Jos.

Rumours have been spread about the possible retirement of Philips as a sponsor for Jos. These rumours ar not true though: Jos has declared that Philips hasn't yet reached a decision about sponsoring next year. Jos also stated that wether or not Philips will be sponsoring him this will be of little influence on the decision of the three teams (Tyrrell, Jordan, Sauber in no particular order) that are seriously negotiating with Jos. These teams will choose a talented driver and make team sponsorship deals.
