Andy_Bangle Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Adrian Sutil has been handed an 18-month suspended sentence and 200,000 euro fine for a night club brawl in China last year. The German, who has yet to find a race seat this year, was found guilty of injuring Eric Lux, chief executive of Renault F1 team owners Genii Capital, in a Shanghai nightclub after the Chinese Grand Prix, Judge Christiane Thiemann said. Lux needed stitches for a neck wound. The Renault team has since been renamed Lotus and Force India have already announced Germany's Nico Hulkenberg as Sutil's replacement. Sutil had told the court on the first day of proceedings on Monday he had repeatedly apologised to Lux and denied it was his intention to hurt him but rather to throw a drink in his face. The fine will be paid to charities. Wonder if HRT will give him a call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 What a coincidence that he has nothing to drive this year! Anyone else think he's been shunned out of the F1 boys community? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Williams excluded him for that very reason as he could have got a 4 year custodial sentence for the offence. Plus, the FIA still has to hand out its own sentence, poss ban or big fine. Edited January 31, 2012 by Andy_Bangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Lewis Hamilton is a coward, says former Force India Formula One driver Adrian Sutil - Telegraph “Lewis is a coward, I don’t want to be friends with someone like that. For me, he is not a man. Even his father sent me a (text message) wishing me luck at the trial. I got nothing from Lewis. He changed his mobile number. I couldn’t reach him.” McLaren gag Lewis Hamilton after Adrian Sutil brands him 'a coward' | Sport | guardian.co.uk “A McLaren spokesman intervened and said: ‘We’ve been told Lewis shouldn’t really go there because it might go under appeal, so can we move on to the next question”, to which the 27-year-old Hamilton added: “I’ll listen to him.’” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
