Jos Verstappen (born 4 March 1972, Montfort) is a Dutch former Formula One driver.

Then, to ice the fairy cake, Verstappen suddenly found himself thrust from the role of Benetton tester to Benetton racer when JJ Lehto injured his neck in a pre-season testing shunt at Silverstone.
Verstappen was involved in a four-car shunt in that race, and worse lay in store as his Benetton was famously engulfed in flames during a pit stop in Germany that went wrong.
Once again Verstappen was obliged to sit on the sidelines, running his kart racing school and looking after his own proteges until the call came for yet another comeback, this time with Arrows for 2000.

 8W - Who? - Jos Verstappen
Johannes Franciscus Verstappen, who would later be known as 'Jos the Boss' by his many fans, began go-kart racing in 1980, at the age of eight.
Jos was given a chance to test for Jordan, mainly for them to work on getting his seating and driving positions comfortable.
Verstappen lost out further during the safety car periods, and also as he needed a new nose in the pits, and particularly as he had to go off track when Ralf Schumacher was spun around by Ricardo Zonta.

 BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Formula One | Jos Verstappen
Jos Verstappen must have thought his Formula One career was over, so he was pleased to get the chance to revive it at Minardi.
Verstappen has therefore not even had the chance he was hoping for, which was to revive a career that has stuttered rather than flowed ever since he was promoted to the big time by Benetton in 1994.
Verstappen is undoubtedly quick and brave, but a succession of mediocre teams has never made it easy for him to shine.

 Jos Verstappen
Firstly, Jos is not afraid to admit that he has an aggressive approach to his driving, rather than a smooth one.
Jos has ever been tagged the ‘erratic’ type, but his off-road instances have become fairly rare in recent times, and are most frequently in circumstances involving mechanical failures.
I would not go as far as to say that Jos Verstappen is the best driver there is, but over the years his experience has led to an improved race craft that would surely be well rewarded in the right machinery.

 Verstappen, Jos - Review - Jos the Boss!!
Jos needed some time to decide so in the meantime he took some thinking time - driving for the Footwork team for the last 3 rounds of the 1993 F1 world Championship.
Bearing in mind Verstappen's F1 experiance was second t o none, his driving was a God send for the cash strapped Footwork who was paid handsomely by Benetton to use Verstappen as their 1994 test driver.
I believe Verstappen still has it in him -even Michael schumacher has said he is one of the best understated drivers in the world and I still think he can do well in a good car.
