Felipe Nasr says it has been mentally tough to “keep everything together” amid the disruption caused by the Sauber Formula 1 team’s legal dispute with Giedo van der Garde.
Van der Garde won court cases in Switzerland and Australia, which upheld his claim that he has a contract to race for Sauber in 2015.
But on Saturday, van der Garde gave up his legal rights to race in Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix after coming to an arrangement with the Swiss team, with talks to come to a resolution planned for next week.
That cleared the way for Nasr and Marcus Ericsson to race for the team in Melbourne, with Brazilian Nasr impressing as he narrowly missed out on Q3 with 11th on the grid for his debut F1 race weekend.
