(Sauber F1 Team)
Former Caterham and Sauber F1 Team
driver Giedo Van Der Garde will not be making a return to Formula One despite
an approach from the Manor Marussia F1 Team according to his manager.
The Dutch driver was due to race
for the Sauber F1 Team this season but the Swiss based outfit signed Marcus
Ericsson and Felipe Nasr to race for them instead and although he won a legal
challenge forcing Sauber to allow him to race, Van Der Garde gave up his right
to race for the team.
The Dutchman's manager has now confirmed that
Van Der Garde is focussed on 2016 and getting a drive in the DTM as well as a
drive in the LMP1 Class at the LeMans 24 Hours race.
The Manor Marussia F1 Team who
have Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi driving for them and they are according to
Van Der Garde’s manager looking for an experienced driver as Merhi has been
described as contracted for a short term period such as the opening Grand Prix
of the season and it is believed that Van Der Garde was approached to race for
Manor Marussia from the Monaco Grand Prix onwards.
