Former Jordan Grand Prix driver Giorgio Pantano is considering legal action against the Silverstone based squad after being dumped prior to the inaugural Chinese Grand Prix last weekend.
The team’s third driver, Timo Glock, replaced Pantano for the second time this season. The first time, in Montreal, was due to contractual issues with his management and sponsorship, but according to the Italian driver’s management, this time it’s a case of breach of contract.
“My first thought is to say ‘no comment’ - but it wouldn’t be fair to our operation, professionalism and the facts. The facts are that a contract and agreements have been broken,” said Lars-Christian Brask of Brask Management. “I prefer to solve issues like this commercially, but in this case it is a complex situation and all the facts are not obvious to the public. The most likely outcome is that we will have to go through the courts to protect our investment and our driver’s rights. We are preparing our case at the moment and I think it is best to rest the comments with that.”
