This is really odd. If GvdG has a formal signed contract, then he has a contract that legally should be binding, ergo he should be driving. If it is only a verbal agreement, then sorry Geido.

What happens now? If he has won the caes (as it appears) will Sauber have to kick Ericsson or Nasr aside? What of their contracts? If Sauber are forced to take GvdG on as a driver how can they possibly work together? Can Sauber get around things by letting him drive in Aus, then firing him because he isn't up to the job before Malaysia?

or... is GvdG simply after a payout from a nearly broke F1 team?
