Jul.9 (GMM) Lagging performance is not the only reason that Christijan Albers' immediate future at Spyker is under threat.
We have learned that one or more of the 28-year-old Dutch driver's key sponsors are in excess of (US) $1 million behind in due payments to the Silverstone based team.
A final deadline has now been imposed and possible replacement drivers for the upcoming European grand prix may be tested at Spa-Francorchamps this week.
It is understood that one of the late-to-pay sponsors is Mingya European Resort, a Chinese real estate developer with Dutch links. The deal was facilitated by Albers' manager Lodewijk Varossieau, who recently split with the struggling driver.
Spyker reserve driver Markus Winkelhock is the most likely replacement for Albers.
