Former Minardi team owner Paul Stoddart has claimed that, if the current Formula 1 budget cap rules existed at the time, Jos Verstappen could have had a shot at winning a race, or maybe even a title. Stoddard ran the Minardi outfit during its final years in Formula 1, with Verstappen racing for the team during his final season in the sport.
