Another Verstappen win at the weekend! Max33Verstappen's dad Jos scored his first win as a rally driver. Story:
Verstappen, who clocked up 106 starts during his F1 career with Benetton, Simtek, Footwork, Tyrrell, Stewart, Arrows and Minardi, has been a long time fan of rallying, electing to switch to the discipline last year.The father of reigning F1 world champion Max Verstappen, who won Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, claimed his first spoils driving a rally car in peculiar circumstances last weekend.
However, a 10-second false start penalty followed by a further time loss for Vanneste brought the pair level on the timesheets. In the event of a tie, the rally was decided by times set on the opening stage resulting in Verstappen being declared the winner."This does me tremendous good. It was a difficult period for me because I couldn't drive for a few months," said Verstappen in a report on his official website.
“In the beginning of the year we tested. But testing is different from driving an actual test, because in a test you can drive over the same test every time," he added.
