Verstappen in a ruck.

Arrows driver Jos Verstappen again tasted life as a rugby player yesterday - and found that he'd rather be a racing driver.

The Dutchman has been travelling between Arrows' Leafield base and the Tom Walkinshaw-owned Gloucester Rugby Club for a mixture of strength training and physiotherapy since complaining that the Brazilian GP left him fatigued, and posed for photographs with some of the team's bigger players yesterday [Wednesday].

Unfortunately, the situation and the conditions, showed the difference between the two sports, as Verstappen shivered in his warmest clothes while the rugby players posed in their traditional playing kit - despite low temperatures and driving rain!.

The Dutch star has been training with the club's Ed Archer and receiving physio from Simon Jones, who is now also attached to Arrows.
