Quote:
Mika Salo said in an interview with F1Racing.net in Valencia that he would want to have Jos Verstappen to join Toyota as a testdriver if he wouldn’t be able to stay at Arrows.
Verstappen’s position for next seson is still insecure, though he has a contract. Mika Salo was in the same position in the beginning of 1999, when we was sacked bij Tom Walkishaw, a week for the Australian Grand Prix.
“It is sad what Tom is doing,” said Salo. “But to be honest I hope Jos will not be driving at Arrows, because I want him to join Toyota as a testdriver. I really like Jos,but of course it is not my team and not up to me to decide, but I defintly want Jos to drive for us.”
Jos Verstappen and Mika Salo know eachother very well. They drove together for Tyrrell in 1997.

Alhoewel ik wel betwijfel of iemand met de leeftijd van Verstappen baat heeft bij een job als testrijder. Een jonge piloot kan met testen F1-ervaring opdoen. Voor Jos zou het weer een jaar verloren zijn.
