Looks like it wasn't the wisest idea to hire him - Just read that he binned a car at a test in Monza today, chassis is a complete write-off :o

LOL Werner have you got a link to this perhaps, pictures maybe?

Never mind the link I found a page full with Verstappen excuses.
In Dutch: http://www.racexpress.nl/index.php?nav=Artikel&nid=16308

Now here's to hoping that they fire Jos ;D
I understand that's not sure that they can fix the car for Le Mans.

at least AM made a smart move in hiring Peter Kox as well for the LM24
(see Planetlemans.com)

Is it one of those pictures that when you me the other side of the car you go 'Oh my god'?

At least they will still have 3 cars at LM, even if that's a write off.

According to PM the tub's cracked.

Changed my mind, the Dutch boys are right, he's a prat, and his excuses stink.

That is the second one that has been stuffed then, not a good thing when you consider the cost, I think that they are running on a tight budget.
