GP Australia, van der Garde: no superlicence

The race of Giedo van der Garde to get on track with the Clean a Melbourne it could stop due to one last obstacle.
The Dutch driver, who in these hours won the appeal against the Swiss team - guilty of having left him without a contract for the 2015 season despite a signed contract -, risks not taking part in the first race of the season as he does not have a super license .

In the entry list published by FIA on the eve of the race weekend, the names of the two title holders still appear Ericsson e Nasr and people are wondering how Sauber will handle three suitors with only two seats available.

At this point, however, the issue could resolve itself. AtAlbert Park di Melbourne the question that stands out at the moment is: does the 29-year-old Dutchman have a super license to race in F1?

“It's difficult for him to run in Australia“, is the thought of the correspondent of Car engine and sport Michael Schmidt. “Dutch does not have a valid superlicence.”
"L 'Automobile Club Dutch only initiated the request on Wednesday, March 11, and the process to obtain it usually takes 14 days,” he explained Schmidt adding that, even in the case of an urgent request due to causes of "force majeure", 48 hours would still be necessary, in addition to the fact that it is up to the team to present the request to FIA.

" Clean he has to work with us now,” he said van der Garde after the victory in court. “There is nothing else to add. As for the super license, I am confident that it will arrive in time."
