Giedo is not a dick, Kaltenborn is stubbon in this case, Sauber signed 4 drivers for 2 seats and they wanted to have their cake and eat it.Manoah2u wrote:you can only conclude 2 things from this:

What are they thinking, seriously?! to just step in and drive? does he think the team would enjoy him there? does he even magically believe in performing doing something? Furthermore, does he think he can count on respect and friendlyness in both the team but even more the grid and paddock? Who would want such a guy? Nobody, that's who. No F1 team will ever be interested in his services ever anymore after this 'betrayal' and act. The sacking of GVDG saved the sauber team, it saved 330 members of the team,

now butthurt guido comes in agressive and tries to ruin the team? what did he do for them? must be crazy, as he not only now has completely destroyed any chance in F1 [sauber is a gonner now but no team seriously would want his effort], but not only that, such behaviour will not be accepted or appreciated in any motorsport division. He kan kiss any prospect of F1, GP2, LMP, WEC goodbye now.
what a total tool.
Precisely the reason he's not yet announced as the 2nd Manor driver. He wants a Sauber payoff, THEN a Manor drive.void wrote:Put him on Manor seat, and case closed!
. His father-in-law is a billionaire and the McGregor brand is very active in Motorsport. He will be fine.Manoah2u wrote:1 Guido vd Garde is a d*ck

He's 29. He knows full well that he won't get another F1 drive so he's going to court for to one. He can't race in GP2 again regardless and if he & McGregor want to compete in WEC, they can fund a GT Pro or even an LMP2 team for less than an F1 seatManoah2u wrote:He kan kiss any prospect of F1, GP2, LMP, WEC goodbye now.
good for him, won't change a thing though, he'll never set foot in a sauber ever again. not in melbourne, not ever.Starscreamer wrote:Who is Guido???
I only know Giedo and he will drive!

He is allready in Melbourne with his helmet
Sauber offered him a contract, which he signed. Long before they then signed Ericsson or Nasr. He has as much right to be driving for them as anyone.Manoah2u wrote:
dealing with a pure business disagreement issue which involves money and not threatening to go and step into a car that is not yours to step into is a whole different thing.
, he has a seat made up from his test & FP drives. Even without one, it takes a few hours to knock a new seat up, so it's quite nuts that you think a seat would be the biggest issue here.Manoah2u wrote: he'll be after $$ sure, there isn't even a seat measured for him
Nothing stupid about per se. As always it's a matter of money. Caterham went broke, Ericsonn got back on the market with a big bag of money, but in the meanwhile vd Garde was already signed. Sauber just ditched vd Garde in order make way for the bag of mon... ehh driver!AnthonyG wrote:Someones head will roll for this, for sure, how stupid can you be to sign a driver and change your mind after thinking a contract doesn't have any meaning...
