Sutil still believes in 2013 F1 return
31 January, 2013
Adrian Sutil with Manfred Zimmerman
Mere days before the 2013 Formula One pre-season test period begins in Jerez, Adrian Sutil is still refusing to give up on his comeback.
Once considered the hot favourite to return with his former team Force India this year, the long delay has caused some commentators to assume that German Sutil, 30, is now less likely to race.
But Sutil’s manager Manfred Zimmermann insisted: “Basically, we still believe in the 2013 comeback.”
He also admitted to DPA news agency, however, that he is “not sure” if Sutil will have a cockpit to occupy for the forthcoming opening 2013 test at Jerez.
“At the moment we are waiting for the final decision, and of course we would prefer it sooner rather than later,” Zimmermann said.
As for whether Timo Glock’s shock departure at Marussia had contributed to the delay, Sutil’s manager said that the events are “unrelated”, whilst acknowledging that the pay-driver situation was “significant for F1″.

Senna is total waste, running around the paddock with suitcase full of money and having the senna surname doesn’t mean talent, Sutil should be faster than senna, personally i would like to see Kobayashi or Glock get the seat

I’d rather see Senna in this seat.
