From press release
The Sauber F1 Team is pleased to announce Giedo Van der Garde as its test and reserve driver for 2014.
The 27-year-old Dutchman will be driving during some Friday sessions and several tests in the 2014 season.
Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "We are happy to have Giedo van der Garde on board. He has four years experience in GP2 and he drove one year in Formula 1. Many times Giedo has shown his talent as a race driver. Giedo has the right attitude to take the next step forward."
Giedo van der Garde: "I consider this an important step in my career. It is my goal to help the team with the development of the new car. But, of course, I am a racing driver, and I want to show the team and everybody else what I am capable of and that I deserve a race seat with the Sauber F1 Team in 2015."
"I am very thankful to Caterham that they gave me a chance to get a taste of Formula 1. I enjoyed a fantastic season with the team and I have learned a lot. The experience gained will surely help me during the rest of my career.”
“For now, I am really very excited to have signed a contract with the Sauber F1 Team. For every driver it is a dream to work for a well established team such as Sauber. In recent years it has shown impressive results. I am really grateful for this opportunity and I will certainly do my upmost to succeed.”
Giedo Van der Garde joins the race drivers Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutiérrez.
