MELBOURNE, Australia - Formula 1 driver Giedo van der Garde dropped legal action against Sauber, allowing the team to race at the season-opening 2015 Australian GP without him.
Van de Garde released a statement on Saturday (March 14) saying that while the issue was still not resolved and talks would resume later in March, he had agreed to forgo his right to race in Melbourne.
The announcement means Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr will drive for Sauber at Albert Park.
