Sponsor loyal to Verstappen, dumps Arrows

WHILE Tom Walkinshaw and Arrows have abandoned Jos Verstappen, Dutch sponsor, Trust, will remain loyal to him.

Verstappen's official website has posted a message saying that, in response to Arrows' decision to dump the Dutchman in favor of Heinz-Harald Frentzen, the computer peripherals company has pulled out of their sponsorship deal with the team, and will continue to support Jos.
