As if in answer to the fans crys on this site's message board has appeared a quote from Jos Verstappen's manager confirming, as far as he is concerned, the Dutchman's drive with the team in 2002 and confirmed that he will be testing the new A23 shortly.

In a quote which has appeared on the official Jos Verstappen website, Huub Rottengather has been quoted as saying, "I believe that Arrows' team is now complete. Jos has his contract already, and Enrique has signed now also. Jos will begin testing the A23 soon.
"Why have Arrows not confirmed Jos? They do not need to, they already gave him a contract in June. I have no doubts and am totally confident that Jos will drive for Arrows in 2002."

To date there has been no official line from the Arrows team itself, and the press statement confirming Enrique Bernoldi stated that the driver line-up "would be announced soon".

Nothing like feeding the speculation and fan discussion is there ?
