Verstappen praising Jumbo CEO: “You believed in it from the first moment”

Supermarket chain Jumbo has been behind Max Verstappen for many years, of which Frits van Eerd is the initiator. De Brabander has been supporting the young driver since his karting days, but the other way around, the F1 driver is also very enthusiastic about the top man.

Verstappen started karting when he was just able to run properly and has since become impossible to beat away from circuits. Together with father Jos, the young driver went everywhere to win championship after championship. Van Eerd came across the young talent after the Verstappens asked him for support. In From Tv Show the Jumbo CEO tells Ivo Niehe that he was immediately very impressed by the Limburger. As we all know, everything worked out very well for Verstappen.

The Red Bull driver is therefore very grateful for everything the Jumbo top man has done for him. He therefore left a message for Van Eerd: “We came to you to ask for support. You believed in it from the very first moment and you had every confidence in it. That is of course difficult to say when you are just starting out in motorsport. said the 23-year-old on the TV show. “The fact that after so many years you are still working together and have already experienced great successes together is of course very special. I hope this will continue for a long time and of course I thank you for your confidence and hope to see you again soon,” concludes the Limburger.
