Giedo van der Garde is a Dutch racing driver currently driving for Formula One team Sauber-Ferrari, having previously drove for the Caterham-Renault team in 2013. Van der Garde has previously tested in 2007 for Spyker and in 2008 for Force India. The Dutchman was a candidate for a race seat at Virgin in 2011 but was overlooked in favour of Jérôme d'Ambrosio. He also tested for the Caterham team at the 2012 season, for China and Japan.
After having no drive for Caterham in 2014, he was announced as a third driver for the Sauber team with a contract to drive for the team the following year. Despite this existing contract, Sauber signed Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson as drivers for 2015. Van der Garde took legal action against the team for this breach of contract, aiming to take part in the 2015 season. On February 11th 2015, the Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia, upheld the Dutchman's claim and ordered the Sauber team to allow him to race, despite him having spent no time in the car in pre-season.
