I think that's a very good point they're bringing into Formula One at the moment, to get rid of all the electronics. And I think that's what a Formula One driver needs. That's why they are a Formula One driver. They need to drive themselves.

My plan was to put him on a go-kart track when he was six years-old but he was with his mum at a track in Genk and he called me up crying because he saw a younger guy driving on the track. He said to me 'Daddy, I want to do this,' so when I got home from the Canadian GP, I bought him a go-kart and that's how he started.

Being team-mate to Michael Schumacher at Benetton in my first year of Formula One was certainly a high pressure situation.

Jos Verstappen

The most important thing is that at a certain moment you can drive.

My favorite change is taking traction control away and launch control, because my starts are pretty good, I think, and I make always some places up in the start and I think that will be great if that comes back to the driver's hand.

In F1 everything involves money, but there are other details to work on.

Jos Verstappen

I am very pleased to be back in F1 and to have signed to drive for Minardi.

Jos Verstappen

People are asking that question again if Max is being too tough on his equipment, but that's complete nonsense. He can't overdrive, he can't break the material. We all know what it is: it's just the equipment that isn't good enough.

Jos Verstappen

It is a very good to drive a top car.

Jos Verstappen

The biggest chance to overtake is in the first two laps of a race. Later on will always be more difficult.

Jos Verstappen

Everyone wants to see racing. This is what F1 is for and this is what it is.

Jos Verstappen

It takes a little time to return to a Formula One car after 15 months away and to get back in the rhythm again, but after about 20 laps, I was feeling really comfortable and enjoying myself.

Jos Verstappen

I am happy that I will be able to drive again and I will also see Eddie Jordan again, as it's been some time since I had direct contact with him. I am really curious to see what it's like with the Jordan team and how they will react to me, what they want to tell me.

Jos Verstappen

We know motorsport is dangerous, but it does not make we want to stop, or make Max stop.

Jos Verstappen

My whole life is about racing, and of course everybody wants to do the same with your son. Being a father and doing motor racing with him goes hand in hand.

Jos Verstappen

I'm always responsible and a father, you want the best for your children. You push hard. You have to teach him things of life.

Jos Verstappen

I learned a lot from my career.

Jos Verstappen

Suzuka is a nice circuit.

Jos Verstappen

When you only qualify in 18th position, you have to take your chance off the grid.

Jos Verstappen

Back in 1994 I really didn't enjoy myself, but for the last couple of years I have enjoyed myself much more.

Jos Verstappen

I think I did a pretty good job - particularly when I was racing with Hakkinen. It was maybe the first time that I have been challenging with the big boys, and I really enjoyed it.
