Published on 30 October 2005 by Thorsten Hendriks
Jos Verstappen has finished the sprintrace in fourth position. That will be his position on the grid for the feature race. The sprintrace was won by France, followed by Brazil and Switzerland.
Jos had an excellent start and was third for a short time. At the back of the field some cars collided. Jos managed to keep the Czech car behind him to take fourth.
"I went through the first corner without any problems, which is a good thing in itself. I had to work had to keep my fourth position during the race, my car was troubled by understeer. Something that didn't occur this weekend, Graham Taylor and I will have to look at the telemetrie to find the cause before the feature race. We are making progress. I am not going to make any comment on the feature race, anything can happen. I have a good perspectives now I am starting from fourth."
