Sauber faces contempt of court action
Print Edition
SAUBER faced contempt of court action after failing to overturn an order that Giedo van der Garde must drive at the Australian Grand Prix.
The Swiss F1 outfit was told yesterday to hand over a list of its assets by today morning to ensure it complies with the court ruling. Sauber earlier lost its appeal against a Victoria Supreme Court order forcing it to honor a deal with former reserve driver van der Garde.
Van der Garde claims Sauber reneged on an agreement that he would race for it this season when it opted for heavily sponsored drivers Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson instead.
Van der Garde won his complaint at a Swiss arbitration tribunal and on Wednesday Justice Croft backed the ruling, enforcing it in Australia.
Sauber’s bid to overturn the decision was thrown out, with the judges saying it saw “no error in the reasoning of the trial judge.”
Sauber argued that it would be unsafe to let van der Garde drive in Sunday’s race. “There is no practical way we can allow (and) facilitate Mr. van der Garde in this new C34 Ferrari which he has not previously raced,” the team’s lawyer Rodney Garratt said. “The last time he did any competitive driving was in November 2013.”
