Sauber must have been desperate for cash. Even more desperate to have contracted for a secure 2015 season. At 30, it's not like he was going to set the sport on fire but I also do fee for him having lost the opportunity to drive for Sauber with the team being a real contender for the midfield crown.
In the end Sponsors get their money back, he probably gets a cut of the settlement for the breach of contract and goes to look for a seat in WEC or somewhere. Good luck to him. This was an ugly affair exposing the underbelly of the sport.

Ugh...hearing it only from his side, but I can't say I like Sauber much under Kalterborn. Sounding a lot like the Swiss banking practices.

The thing is - when paid drivers become the norm - this sort of thing will happen. I just cant understand how Sauber thought they'd get away with taking £8M back in 2014, and then just acting like it didn't happen, come 2015.

Thought I read somewhere that they got 30 million from driver sponsorship with Nasr so the math worked out enough to eclipse the risk.

Me too, but it was clear he was used for the money. Charles Pic did wipe the floor with him in 2013 though.
