Verstappen makes racing return

Dutch F1 veteran Jos Verstappen will represent his country on the novel 'A1 grand prix' grid. The 33-year-old, who saw his grand prix career race away after the 2003 season with Minardi, is to drive for the team run by Jan Lammers, another of Holland's ex-racers.

"Jos is without doubt the most popular driver from the Netherlands," Lammers enthused.

Dubai-run A1 will kick off in September at Brands Hatch (UK).

It is reported elsewhere, meanwhile, that Williams' test driver Antonio Pizzonia may accept an offer to represent Brazil in the so called 'world cup' of motor sport.
