It's a shame that some of his so-called fans are doing this. I've not met any of them but last year at Montmeló they seemed like the most loyal and organized bunch of fans, all in black with Trust stuff, considering that it's probably not as easy to find as TGF merchandising...

My message is: no matter how disgusting the hate-mails are, imo Eddie wouldn't have to call the press that this was going on. This is the work of 13 or (max) 14 years old kids, not realising what they are doing. So we musn't take it too serously. On the homepage of JV a lot of real fans are mad about the hate mails either. That's why a new thread was posted: Verstappen fans support Jos, Jordan and F1. minardi |

such people are abslolutely crazy, it was'nt even EJ's fault, it was Trust wich did'nt keep their promisses and pulled the plug on Jos(and the only thing I've done about that is replace my keyboard and mouse by a different brand)

so only Michael Schumacher managerd to score more points than a rookie who barely had any testing before the season started and Jos could have had 6 points more if the team had'nt set him on fire in Hockenheim. |

He did a few test sessions with Arrows and McLaren (taste of F1 car) a year before 1994 and in his debut race he crashed, 2nd race DNF-spun, replaced for 4 races and on his 3rd attempt (surely he had enuf testing by then) DNF spun again
anything special? |

As far as I know, a year before his debut he was preparing himself for his first season in F3. I would think that he got those test sessions at the end of the season, after winning races in German F3. Maybe even after he had won the championship. --- Reasons for his first crash are unclear (he collided with Irvine; Irvine got a ban because of this incident). He was not replaced for those 4 races; He had been standing in for the regular second driver (Lehto). At that time Lehto had recovered from his accident. So Jos (temporarily) stopped replacing Lehto. By the time he had done enough testing, he learned to finish races and get podium results. It may not have been a very good rookie year. But with 10 points out of 10 races, it also is not a very bad rookie year. For a young rookie with only 2 years of racing experience (only one year in F3, at a time when most drivers had at least F3000-experience before entering F1) it wasn't bad at all. (Remember Button only scored 12 points in his first 16 races). --- Verstappen blew it *after* his first year, by not getting enough sponsorship to get a second chance in a decent team. |

You've described it all in detail Don K, having Michael as a team mate...both JJ Lehto and Jos looked ordinary IMO.

I'm not saying that all Jos fans are a danger to EJ, but it only takes that 1 who is a danger. |

I don't want to use a Trust product anymore either, not because they supposedly screwed Jos but just because their products are pure uhm... they're just bad okay!
