Giedo van der Garde

Van der Garde will team-up with Charles Pic at Caterham it seems.

Oh no. A dutch driver. :eek:

 

[remydeleeuw]

So what do you expect from the first dutch driver since a long time.

Much more than what Christian Albers delivered

He brought me a nice fuel hose..

I think for Guido its important to win the internal battle with his teammate.

Will be difficult to get into the points though.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Guido will have new upgrades on the car and thinks he can now challenge the Marussias. Lets hope so as I think this will be a crucial weekend for him.

What do you guys think, will Guido stay for another year with Caterham in 2014?

 

[Tom]

It's not like they have a reason to boot him. He made the most of their car, definitely.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

He did what he could and had the Measure of PIC who was a year more experienced than him. I think he will be with Caterham by 2014

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I think VDG will still be at Caterham next year, but I'd much rather see Heikki in his place.

Caterham is very complicated at the moment. Pic has a contract, but GvdG seems to be fast after the tyre changes. Rossi and Kovalainen could get a seat too.

 

[Markus Neumann]

If VDG and Pic don't manage to take back P10 in the WCC from Marussia they might ironically guarantee their continued employment because Caterham wouldn't be able to afford reinstating Kovalainen.

VDG is going to be a Sauber reserve next year. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112204
This makes the Caterham seats interesting.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Decent move for Sauber.
Very lucky for VDG. He didn't really deserve another seat in F1

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I actually think he did. He showed good performances in variable conditions, which in reality is the only chances to prove something in the bottom two teams.
