MONTE CARLO, MONACO, June 1, 2003 — It started well and the signs initially looked promising for European Minardi Cosworth drivers Jos Verstappen and Justin Wilson in today’s 61st running of the Monaco Grand Prix.
They may have started from 18th and 19th positions on the grid, but with both cars carrying sufficient fuel for just a “one-stop” strategy, the aim was to profit from the problems of other competitors as well as those carrying lighter fuel loads and therefore having to make a greater number of pit stops.
Both European Minardi drivers got away well as the most-anticipated Grand Prix of the season got under way, and climbed steadily up the order, Verstappen running 12th and Wilson, 14th, at close to the halfway point of the race.
