This is Sauber's argument:
"Kate Jones @Kate_Jones7
#F1 Court: Sauber's lawyer argues its agreement was with Giedo van der Garde's company, not him personally, so arbitration ruling was wrong."

Considering that Baba ended up at the 2012 Suzuka race and met Alonso I'm going to assume the man is a fan.

"Alyssia Morison @AlyssiaMorison
Sauber F1 team argues that a new model of Ferrari is being raced at Australian Grand Prix, in which VanDer Guarde has no experience racing."
"Kate Jones @Kate_Jones7
#F1 Court: @SauberF1Team lawyer says van der Garde hasn't practised in new Ferrari. Would be 'reckless & dangerous' to allow him to drive."
Sauber should do stand-up...

What a mess.
No problem. Sauber was able to make DLR drive instantly in 2011 and in 2002 they made a seat within two days...
The Sauber legal drama is a fascinating mess. Can't wait to see how it'll all play out.
That's awesome. Anyone who likes Tales games is a cool person in my book. There are too few of us (outside of Japan, of course).

You know, it's about time someone stood up against teams just flat out breaking contracts. If you give a driver a contract and he's adhering to his contract (as in, meeting all the performance and -if applicable- payment clauses), he should not just be kicked to the curb when someone with more money comes along. Happens so often, it would be nice if VDG wins the lawsuit and his seat just to send a signal for teams to stop screwing contracted workers over, really.

That's pretty darn cool.
I know that Hamilton also likes to bring his ps3 and ps4 on his travels.
That's what the practice sessions are for~ That argument isn't gonna hold up.
They should just start making that chair already.
Sure: He didn't.
You mean, he's been fighting for his seat for a while now and the finale is happening in Melbourne?
Pretty much, he won a lawsuit in November.
Nope.
The arbitration finished march 2nd or something... (If I'm correct)
But you can be sure he has been working on this the whole winter.
And at some time when you don't get the results in private you have to enforce them through court. Arranging this in private would always have been a priority for VDG and Sauber since it saves face for both.
Are they seriously saying it would be dangerous to let him drive because he has been out of F1 for a year ? like... really ?
If anything, this will force the courts to make him participate fully in all practice sessions, this has to be a joke...
edit: oh wait, they're saying they won't have time to do a seat fitting and that it will be impossible for him to drive safely with a non-fitted seat.

And if their argument is really about not being able to make him a seat for next weekend, then they are already setting up themselves to giving him the seat for Malaysia.
Unless their argument for Malaysia is that he never drove the new Ferrari in high humidity conditions.
Oh, snap!
SSSSSSNAP.

Yeah also I remember back then than Baba was surprised because the Asbel chibi figure wasn't even released, so it was implied it was a custom one Alonso ordered (or someone made it for him?)
About Sauber driver line-up, IF VDG manage to get a seat, will it be Ericsson's or Nasr's?
I would say Nasr's because he was last, but he brings in most money (probably), so who knows...
If they removed Nasr they'd probably be sued by Banco Brasil to remove their livery colours....
The sad thing about this is, that if VDG succeeds Sauber probably won't make it through the season as they'd loose either Nasr's and Ericcsons money (in addition to new law suits). Saubers management really dug themself a huge hole to bury themself in....

Wonder what Peter Sauber thinks of all of this.

His father-in-law is a billionaire...
He obviously IS planning on driving there. What makes you think otherwise?
Because his move pushes the team to the brink of bankruptcy. He knows that and the team (as in the mechanics etc. that will lose their jobs) know that. Even though he's in the right and the fault lies with the management, I doubt the personel will be welcoming...

It's their fault and seems like they only delayed the inevitable if they're this bad off.
They are professionals...

At this point I'm still debating if Alonso even remembers driving the Honda.
That right there is a very interesting detail, dude's a super fan.
That may be, but Van der Garde isn't really getting anything out of this other than the power to say, "I was right". He's going to hurt the team he's trying to drive for and no other team will touch him with a 10 foot pole after this.
