Giedo Gijsbertus Gerrit van der Garde (; born 25 April 1985) is a retired Dutch racing driver and sports commentator who participated in Formula One during 2013 and competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2016 through 2023. In the realm of sportscar racing, he clinched the European Le Mans Series championship in 2016 driving for G-Drive.

Originating from Rhenen, van der Garde embarked on his karting journey at the age of nine, ultimately capturing the Karting World Championship title in 2002. Advancing into formula racing, he earned his inaugural major championship by winning the 2008 Formula Renault 3.5 Series with P1. After four seasons marked by multiple victories in the GP2 Series, van der Garde secured a seat with Caterham for the 2013 season, having previously participated in testing sessions for Super Aguri and Spyker, as well as being part of the McLaren Young Driver Programme in 2006. He made his Formula One debut at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix; however, Caterham did not score any points throughout that year, with his highest placement being 14th at the 2013 Hungarian Grand Prix. After losing his race seat for 2014, he took on a reserve driver role at Sauber. Although initially contracted to race full-time in 2015, Sauber opted to sign Felipe Nasr, which led van der Garde to pursue international arbitration and reach a multi-million pound settlement.

In 2016, van der Garde shifted focus to sportscar competitions with G-Drive Racing, competing simultaneously in the European Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship's LMP2 category. He captured the European Le Mans Series championship during his rookie season, amassing several wins. Continuing his endurance racing career, he also raced in WEC and the IMSA SportsCar Championship with Nederland, including six participations at the esteemed 24 Hours of Le Mans. Van der Garde concluded his professional driving career at the close of 2023 to dedicate himself fully to a role as a commentator and analyst for Viaplay.

Early life and career

Giedo Gijsbertus Gerrit van der Garde was born on 25 April 1985 in the Dutch town of Rhenen.

Karting

Van der Garde enjoyed a distinguished karting tenure, securing the Dutch championship title in 1998. He was recognized as the top rookie in Super A category in 2001 and went on to become world champion in 2002.

Formula Renault

In 2003, he entered the Formula Renault 2000 Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing and finished sixth overall. This result earned him an opportunity within the Renault F1 Driver Development programme.

Formula Three

During 2004, van der Garde competed in the Formula 3 Euro Series representing Signature-Plus, concluding the season ninth overall and consequently losing Renault’s support. The following year, driving for Team Rosberg, he matched this ninth-place finish.

For 2006, he joined the leading ASM squad alongside teammates Paul di Resta and Sebastian Vettel, ending sixth in the championship standings with one race victory.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

On 17 December 2006, van der Garde declared his intention to compete in the upcoming season of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with Victory Engineering. Although consistently finishing within the top six, he did not achieve any podiums and completed the season sixth overall while ranking third among rookies. His performance during GP2 testing sessions with teams such as DAMS and Arden International was notable.

He signed for P1 Motorsport for the 2008 campaign. At Monza, he earned pole position for the feature race but started eighth in the sprint event due to reverse grid regulations; nonetheless, he won both races decisively. At Spa-Francorchamps, after narrowly missing pole position and retiring from the sprint race following contact with another driver, he recovered to claim victory in the feature race starting from second on the grid.

Throughout that season, van der Garde maintained a lead in the championship standings and ultimately secured the title with two rounds remaining.

GP2 Series

Van der Garde secured a contract with iSport International for both the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season and the 2009 GP2 Series season. During the event at the Hungaroring, he claimed his inaugural sprint race win and added two further victories, concluding the season in seventh place overall.

Although he was not originally scheduled to participate in the 2009–10 GP2 Asia season, Van der Garde competed in the second round representing Barwa Addax and continued with the team throughout the 2010 GP2 Series season. He again achieved a seventh-place finish in the championship, while his teammate Sergio Pérez secured second position.

Continuing with Barwa Addax for the 2011 GP2 Asia Series season, Van der Garde partnered with Charles Pic. He ended the Asia series third overall, trailing only Romain Grosjean and Jules Bianchi, and led the main GP2 championship after two rounds despite not winning any races. At Catalunya, he recorded his first pole position and fastest lap. Although initially taking pole at the Monaco event, a qualifying penalty resulted in lost points and relinquished the championship lead to Grosjean. Ultimately, Van der Garde finished fifth overall following a disappointing final round.

In his capacity as reserve driver for the Caterham Formula One squad, Van der Garde joined their GP2 team for the 2012 season, alongside teammate Rodolfo González. He returned to winning form at both Catalunya and Singapore, though inconsistent performances led to a sixth-place finish in the overall standings.

On 9 February 2015, Van der Garde tested a GP2 vehicle for Campos Racing (the former Addax outfit) at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, covering more than 350 kilometers, indicating a potential comeback to the series.

Formula One career

Van der Garde entered the McLaren Young Drivers Programme in 2006. Later that year, on 15 December, he was appointed as test and reserve driver for the Super Aguri team for the 2007 Formula One season.

However, on 1 February 2007, Spyker F1 announced Van der Garde as their test and reserve driver, which sparked a contractual dispute with Super Aguri. This issue was resolved by June 2007, after which he conducted testing sessions with Spyker at Silverstone. Spyker intended to have him drive on Friday practice during the 2007 Australian Grand Prix; however, he was unable to obtain the necessary FIA superlicence in time for this opportunity.

Van der Garde was also considered for Virgin's race seat in 2011, though this position ultimately went to Jérôme d'Ambrosio.

Caterham (2012–13)

On 4 February 2012, Van der Garde was appointed as the Reserve Driver for Caterham F1 during the 2012 campaign, taking part in six Friday practice sessions, including the 2012 Chinese Grand Prix.

By 1 February 2013, he advanced to Caterham's role of second race driver alongside Charles Pic. Van der Garde completed his inaugural race in 18th place at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix. During the 2013 Monaco Grand Prix, he achieved Caterham's highest-ever qualifying spot with P15 and progressed to Q2 for the first time that year. Despite an early collision with Pastor Maldonado, he matched his personal best race finish of 15th. He improved further at the 2013 Hungarian Grand Prix, finishing 14th and outperforming teammate Pic as well as Marussia drivers Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton.

At the 2013 Belgian Grand Prix, Van der Garde recorded a career-best qualifying position of 14th by choosing slick tires on a drying circuit. Although competitive in the early stages, he ultimately finished 16th, one lap down from the leaders.

Sauber (2014–15)

2014

On 21 January 2014, Van der Garde joined Sauber F1 Team as a reserve and test driver for that season, participating in first free practice sessions across seven Grands Prix.

In 2015, Van der Garde claimed that although he was assured a race seat for Sauber’s 2015 season as of June 2014, by November he was informed that his services were no longer required. Sauber signed Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr instead, leading Van der Garde to initiate an international arbitration claim in December 2014.

2015

On 2 March 2015, the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution upheld Van der Garde’s contract rights and ordered Sauber to permit him to race during the 2015 season. Ahead of the opening Grand Prix, Van der Garde sought enforcement of this decision through an Australian court.

The court ruled in Van der Garde's favor on 11 March, mandating Sauber to allow him to compete at the 2015 Australian Grand Prix. Sauber appealed on grounds of safety concerns since their car was designed specifically for Ericsson and Nasr, who joined the appeal. The appeal was dismissed on 12 March, reaffirming Van der Garde’s entitlement to race. The court also considered contempt charges against Sauber’s team principal, Monisha Kaltenborn.

With potential asset seizure looming due to non-compliance with court orders, Sauber withdrew from Friday morning practice but permitted Ericsson and Nasr to participate in afternoon sessions. Media reports speculated about Bernie Ecclestone’s involvement to reduce adverse publicity.

On 14 March, Van der Garde agreed not to take part in the Melbourne race while seeking a long-term resolution. This allowed Ericsson and Nasr to complete qualifying and participate in the event.

By 18 March, Van der Garde and Sauber reached a settlement terminating his contract. Reports indicated compensation around US$16 million. Following the agreement, Van der Garde emphasized his objective of safeguarding contractual rights for drivers. Sauber expressed surprise at the outcome but declined further statements.

Post-Sauber (2015–)

In April 2015, Van der Garde’s manager dismissed speculation about a mid-season Formula 1 return with Manor Marussia, instead focusing on securing a racing seat for 2016 in either DTM or LMP1 categories.

Television involvement

Following Max Verstappen's entry into Formula 1 in 2015, Van der Garde became a regular contributor on Dutch television as a motorsport commentator. Between 2015 and 2021, he frequently featured on programs analyzing Verstappen’s progress in F1. In December 2021, Van der Garde expanded his media role by joining Viaplay’s team of experts, working alongside former F1 competitor Christijan Albers and racing driver Tom Coronel.

2016: European Le Mans Series championship

In 2016, Van der Garde made his return to competitive racing by entering the sportscar discipline with G-Drive Racing in the European Le Mans Series. Teaming up with Simon Dolan and Harry Tincknell, he clinched the ELMS championship during his inaugural season, securing victories at Silverstone and Estoril circuits. Additionally, that year marked his first participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.

Personal life

In December 2013, Van der Garde wed Denise Boekhoorn, who is the daughter of the Dutch entrepreneur and investor Marcel Boekhoorn, in Zwolle, Netherlands.
