Adrian Sutil and his manager Manfred Zimmerman face the media in Barcelona
May 19 (GMM) Adrian Sutil on Thursday said he is concentrating on the driving and racing aspects of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix rather than worrying it might be one of his last in Formula 1.
The German is embroiled in an assault scandal, with Renault co-owner Eric Lux vowing to press criminal charges after he was cut with a broken glass following a nightclub incident in Shanghai during the recent Chinese Grand Prix weekend.
“Of course it’s a bit difficult at the moment,” Sutil told a swarm of reporters in Barcelona. “But when I’m in the car, the world will be in order. I look forward to it.”
Sutil was clearly not in the mood to talk about the M1nt nightclub incident, nor the fact Force India has confirmed his seat only for this weekend.
“I want to concentrate on formula one,” he insisted.
His manager Manfred Zimmermann said: “To date there is no official indictment, only the press release about the intention (of Lux).”
Asked about Force India’s tenuous backing, he added: “The team has the right to monitor the situation, that is normal. But we beleive that Adrian will also be in the cockpit for all the remaining races.”
