Verstappen is being unprofessional here:
Jos Verstappen has launched a scathing attack on his Minardi team and says he cannot wait until the final race in Japan is over.
The Dutch driver has suffered a torrid season with Paul Stoddart's cash-strapped team with no success at all on the track.
Verstappen revealed he though the team was 'terrible' and is looking forward to being able to leave after the final Grand Prix in Suzuka.
He has struggled at the back of the grid right from the first race, with only the weather allowing him to do well in one practice session all season.
"We're doing terrible," he told a Dutch magazine. "The parts on the car are getting obsolete and often fail. It all makes it more difficult for me.
"There's an error in the electronics, too, which sometimes prevent traction control from working.
"It's a mess here. There are no policies. If I was in charge here, I'd fire twenty men. There are far too many people here who should be replaced.
"Perhaps I should not judge about this, but I have been in lots of teams and therefore gained much experience. Minardi beats everything. I'll be very happy when it's all over. I'd rather stay at home. It's not worth it, staying away from there for so long.
"Suzuka is a nice circuit. If we are a bit lucky, we might achieve something there. Anyway, I'm happy that after the race, as my time at Minardi will be over."
As for his future, Verstappen is hoping to land a drive with either Jordan or Jaguar for 2004.
"At Jordan I could perhaps have the team going a bit more my way, but I'd rather drive a Jaguar. It could be difficult in the beginning and I might need to fight even harder, but if I'd have a good race engineer, I think I can come a long way."
