First seconds are in Dutch, but everything else is in English.

They talk about go-karts, racing in general, how to be successfull with an F-1 team, about Spa, family and F1 and more.

Michael about karting against each other: "I don't know what the score is, I do know the last time I was the loser. We were in Genk, in the rain, and ehm, well, I think I learnt something."

About Jos:
"I would be, obviously, more than happy if Jos is back, for personal reasons as well as much as for business reasons ( ) and for his own comfort obviously. Time will tell."

Good find. good listen. It's nice to hear these guess not masked behind PR people.

It's from todays race preview on Dutch TV, someone made a DivX movie from it. I only took the audio of it, because I cant host a 60Mb video and I don't want to bring the guy into trouble if I post the link here.

[wawawa]

Hey, Michael made a joke ("I called Jos my pet tomato" or something like that). Thanks A3!

And just as well too, because I wouldn't be able to get it on my freakin' dial-up connection! ;)

Thanks A3.

I've asked the guy for permission, if he gives me the green light, I'll post it here.

Nobody thinks it's weird that Michael mentions twice that he & Jos have some kind of business deal?

Yeah, will likely need to have to wait out what that means later.

I like the interviewer discussing the sweat issue

Good question about drivers basic merchanical idea of the car, to help them out in f1.

Are Schumacher and Verstappen good friends?

[Jhope]

Best of friends.

Yes, didn't you know? They often spend their holidays together with their families and go go-karting together.

[UPRC]

No, I didn't know... Well, thats an interesting fact for me...

I wonder what Frans thinks of that!

[Jhope]

And the most amazing thing, Michael only said the word "honestly" twice in 15 minutes!

[UPRC]

[A3]

Ok, got the green light, for those interested, here's the video, 60Mb, DivX5.0.

[Mosquito]

To be honest, I found the interview rather disappointing.

Maybe I expected the wrong thing, but there's nothing really said that is really worth repeating on a F1 forum. Nice friendly chit-chat, nothing more.

[Bladrian]

Thanks A3 - downloading right now. I'm really pleased you posted this; I'm a huge Verstappen fan, and an even bigger Schumacher fan .... in case anybody hasn't noticed.

Are you?

Then you might be interested to hear that Jos' manager Huub Rothengatter was talking with Paul Stoddart today in Minardi's hospitality truck. Apparently, Rothengatter brought a big sponsore with him.

On saturday Stoddart said he still thought Jos was one of the best drivers and that he was seriously considering the options for next year.
The reporter said that Jos would probably only be interested if Minardi canged engines. Paul replied, saying that he was close to signing a works engine deal, which would enable them to compete with the best. "Jos won't have to worry about next years engine".

[Bladrian]

Am I a Jos fan? Bigtime!

To my mind, still one of the bravest and most skilful drivers around. A Dutch Alesi, you could say .... I really enjoyed the time that Jos was Michael's teammate at Benetton - my two favourite drivers together. Hog heaven.

hear, hear, another believer !

I'm certainly not a Jos fan and although I admire MS, I'm not a fan of his. But I truly enjoyed that interview and wish to thank you for allowing me to hear it.

Cheers A3 !

Isn't it just what I did... Wear the hat if it fits you they say. Well it does... so shut the **** up and wear it !

Well, I guess I just mean " Thx again ! "

I think with the phrase MS was meaning Jos would be having a job again and his Arrows courtcase closed.

I don't think MS and Jos are having any business(like) relations together at all.

[A3]

Noctua, you're right. When they talk about the 2002 champion caps, Olav Mol says to Michael, pointing to Jos: "You could make him a retailer in Holland." And then Jos says "There's nothing to do at the moment" which it translated totally wrong (That's what we're doing at the moment). So that's where my (and others') confusion comes from.

[squiggle bob]

didn't anyone else hear that the first question was from someone named "frans"..

[A3]

Yeah, but "our" Frans is from Maastricht and this guy wasn't.;)

You mean Jos his dad?;)

[Frans]

"Time will tell."

THAT's MY line!!!!!

[yes I have clones in this country. PS, also in Belgium and other Earth nations! Other Generation Frans DNA have produced a Jos The Boss, scared already? ]

haven't seen the interview I was to.... I expected 2 much what surely wouldn't come from that interview. will watch it next week or so, maybe..

cannot ...

aaargh

[Alapan]

Thanks a lot A3.
But your 60Mb video link gives me a 404 Not found error

[A3]

hmm, could be that the guy who's hosting it has exceeded his bandwith limit.

[Alapan]

Yep, lookls like the link is now dead,

[Martijn]

I'd expect them to ask questions about Jos rumoured-downturn of the Ferrari testdrive for 2002,., i was really interested how serious that was. Shame they didnt tell us that.

[Alapan]

Originally posted by squiggle bobdidn't anyone else hear that the first question was from someone named "frans"

I thought that was funny too esp. as the question was - do you guys talk about each other's machinery?

Originally posted by A3Nobody thinks it's weird that Michael mentions twice that he & Jos have some kind of business deal?

Maybe Schumi is financing Verstappen's Karting ...

Good stuff A3

It was serious allright. But Jos was tied to his Arrows contract.
