Van der Garde settles F1 dispute with Sauber
Print Edition
DUTCH driver Giedo Van der Garde recognized his hopes of racing in Formula One were over yesterday after Sauber paid “significant compensation” to end a contract dispute.
“We have reached a settlement with Sauber and my driver contract with the team has been ended by mutual consent,” he said in a statement. The 29-year-old was Sauber’s reserve last season and had a deal to race in 2015. However, the Swiss team signed Brazilian Felipe Nasr and Swede Marcus Ericsson instead. Van der Garde said he had always dreamed of becoming a top-notch driver but “I know my future in Formula One is probably over”. Legal action to enforce the contract culminated in a Melbourne court finding in his favor ahead of last weekend’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
