MELBOURNE, Australia - Formula 1 hopeful Giedo van der Garde arrived at the Albert Park race track early on Friday and headed straight into the Sauber garage.
The development followed his lawyers filing a contempt-of-court action against the Swiss team under which Sauber was instructed to compile a list of its assets currently in Melbourne.
They and the driver, having cleared every legal hurdle so far in enforcing the Dutchman's 2015 race contract, had argued that Sauber was doing nothing to facilitate the 29-year-old's participation in the 2015 season-opener.
