Van der Garde still stuck in F1 dispute

Thu, 26 April 2007, 07:16

F1 test driver Giedo van der Garde says his management is still working to solve a contractual dispute between Super Aguri and Spyker.

The Dutchman, who turned 23 this week, originally penned a deal to become Super Aguri’s ‘Friday’ driver in 2007, before switching his allegiance to Spyker at the same time as his girlfriend’s father eyed a stake in the Silverstone based outfit.

To f1grandprix.it, van der Garde admits that he currently has two contracts, leading to the present matter before the FIA’s Contract Recognition Board.

“We will see where it ends,” said Giedo, who is therefore currently stranded without a Super License and instead focusing on his seat in the World Series by Renault.

He explained of the dispute: “The people behind me, the management, are working really hard to get it solved.

“Hopefully we will fix it soon.”

Van der Garde said his next target is a race seat in F1 for “2008-2009”.
