The Sauber Van der Garde Dilemna

[henners88]

I can't see it being a nice atmosphere in a team that have made it very clear publicly they regret signing him. I hope he gets a good pay out and they have done the dirty on him good and proper.

Jim Peters QC, for van der Garde, launched contempt of court action against Sauber late on Thursday, claiming the team was in defiance of the court order.

He said Sauber had made no effort to reinstate van der Garde, and sought to seize the team's cars to ensure they complied with the court's ruling.

Justice Clyde Croft ordered Sauber to deliver details of their assets in Australia by 9.30am on Friday, ahead of a contempt of court hearing.

"He also wants CEO Monisha Kaltenborn’s passport seized, stopping her leaving Australia, until contempt of court proceedings are heard.

The new proceedings were sparked after Sauber racing officials refused to back the Dutch driver or commit to comply with court orders to let him race. The fresh challenge came just minutes after the Court of Appeal dismissed a bid by the Swiss race team to overturn an order to reinstate van der Garde.
A lawyer for Sauber’s two remaining drivers — Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr — told the appeal hearing the pair feared they would be prosecuted for being in contempt of court if they raced.

Jim Peters QC, for Van der Garde, said the drivers wouldn’t be prosecuted.

There is also the issue of no super-licence for Van der Garde .
Apparently , it takes 14 days , according to Saward .

Reinstated or not , he cannot race without it .

He wont race and he and his father in law has an agenda against the Sauber team.

What a horrible mess. Looks like one of those cases where there will be no winners bar the lawyers.

Surly he has a super licence, he's already raced in F1 in the last 2 years?

They do have to pay a fee for it every year, so presumably there is some sort of annual renewal process.

You'd assume he would have kept it up to date if he was after a seat

Sauber can help fast track the super licence process.....if they want to.
