Gives you wings?
I'll buy that
Wonder if that means he will shave the beard off.
?I?m looking forward to going back to the team and we?ll work hard to do our best for this weekend.I still have a very good relation with the team. I?m looking forward to racing this weekend.?
I'd just have sued for loss of earnings and got a year's salary out of them.
It's kind of unprecedented isn't it. I'd just have sued for loss of earnings and got a year's salary out of them. But to be fair, the "contracts are worthless in F1" thing has went way too far, so I'm fine with teams and drivers being held to them. Holding teams and drivers to their commitments will just make them sign shorter term (1-2 season) deals. Fine.
Gonna be an awkward bloody garage though. I guess we're about to find out which driver brings the least money. I hope he gets a refund.
Looking at the test livery of the Sauber, I have a strong suspicion it won't be the Brazilian looking on from the garage.
he's right to fight them, but he should've just demanded money...how can he expect to be trusted by them ever again?
(or how can he trust them ever again, because it Sauber who fucked him...)
The problem is that van der Garde probably has contractual obligations to fulfill towards the sponsors paying for his drive as well. The very sponsors who most likely are bankrolling his lawyers, as well.It's kind of unprecedented isn't it. I'd just have sued for loss of earnings and got a year's salary out of them.
Sauber?s attempt to overturn an Australian court?s ruling that Giedo van der Garde must be allowed to race for them has failed.
The Supreme Court of Victoria dismissed the team?s appeal in a ruling on Thursday afternoon. Sauber was also ordered to pay van der Garde?s legal costs.
However the race weekend entry list issued by the FIA did not include van der Garde. Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr remain Sauber?s nominated drivers.
