Sutil continued to race with the team under their new guise Force India in 2008 where he remained until 2011. Having made his return to the sport in 2013 again withForce India,he competed in the 2014 season with the Sauber team.[1]
Personal life
[edit]Born inStarnberg,West Germany,Sutil is the son of professional musicians Monika, a German, and Jorge, aUruguayan.[2]He has two brothers, named Daniel and Raphael. He weighs 75 kilograms (165 pounds) and is 180 centimeters (6 feet) tall. A talentedpianist,[3]Sutil speaks fluentGerman,English,andSpanishand a littleItalian.[citation needed]
Shanghai nightclub incident and assault conviction
[edit]On the evening following the April 2011Chinese Grand Prix,Sutil was involved in an incident with Genii Capital CEO and owner of the Lotus F1 teamEric Luxin a nightclub inShanghai.Sutil struck Lux with a champagne glass, causing a wound in his neck which required 24 stitches.[4]Sutil apologised for the incident, which he described as unintentional.[5]Lux's lawyers filed a criminal complaint for physical assault andgrievous bodily harmagainst Sutil.[6]Force India ownerVijay Mallyarefused to take action against Sutil until the case proceeded further,[7]but on 16 December 2011 Force India announced they had opted not to renew Sutil's contract for 2012, and would field reserve driverNico Hülkenbergalongside di Resta.[4][8]
On 13 January 2012, German prosecutors announced that Sutil would stand trial over the incident, charged with assault occasioninggrievous bodily harm.[9]Sutil was convicted of the charge on 31 January 2012, and received an 18-monthsuspended prison sentence,along with a€200,000 fine[10]that was to be donated to charities "of the court's choosing."[4]Sutil initially had planned on appealing his conviction but eventually decided not to.[11]
Lewis Hamilton,among Sutil's friends at the time, was also present in the nightclub that night. He was named as a defence witness by Sutil's side, but Hamilton did not appear in court because the trial coincided with the launch of his team's car.[12]He stated he could attend a retrial, should one take place, as he would not be occupied on the scheduled day, but as a result, the friendship of the two drivers ended,[12]with Sutil branding Hamilton a "coward."[13]
Sutil remained without a seat throughout 2012.[14]

Racing biography
[edit]Karting and Junior Formulae
[edit]Sutil startedkartingat 14 before moving up toSwissFormula Ford1800 in 2002. He won all ten rounds of the season frompoleand added five wins in theFormula MastersAustriachampionship.[2]
Formula BMW and Formula Three
[edit]When Sutil moved up to theFormula BMWADAC championship in 2003 he finished in sixth place in the series, but with no wins. The following season he stepped up to theFormula 3 EuroserieswithColin Kolles' team. Although he scored only twice, the connection he made with Kolles would prove useful in the future. He moved to theASMteam at the final round of the year.[2]
Sutil stayed with ASM for 2005 and was joined by British driverLewis Hamilton.Hamilton won more races than Sutil, but the German was runner-up to Hamilton and the Briton's only serious competitor in the championship and at theMarlboro Masters of Formula ThreeatZandvoort.[2]
Sutil missed the last two rounds of the2005 Euroseriesafter joiningA1 Team Germanyfor the inauguralA1 Grand Prixseries. He raced for them at three events in Portugal, Australia and Dubai, his best result being two twelfth places.[2]
He spent 2006 racing in Japan and won theAll-Japan Formula Three Championship.He showed a very strong performance all season. He also finished third in theMacau Formula Three Grand Prixand made a one-off appearance in JapaneseSuper GT.[2]
Formula One
[edit]Midland (2006)
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Adrian_Sutil_2006_test.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2006_test.jpg)
That year also saw Sutil enter Formula One. In January, he was confirmed as one of the three test drivers for the newMidland F1 Racingteam, along withMarkus WinkelhockandGiorgio Mondini.This came thanks to his connections with Colin Kolles, who was then running the team.
Sutil appeared for the team as the third driver at theEuropean,FrenchandJapanese Grands Prix.By the time of his third appearance, the outfit had been bought bySpyker Cars.At the end of the year, he was promoted to second driver for the 2007 season, having been signed on a multi-year contract by theSpyker MF1 Team.[18]In an interview with the Official Formula One website, Sutil's first 2007 teammate,Christijan Albers,commented that "Adrian is a good driver and he will be quick this year, but as a driver you should always be pushing to the limits without thinking what the guy in the car next to you is doing. But Adrian will be a good team-mate and it looks as though he's going to be a big talent [for the future]".[19]
Spyker (2007)
[edit]During 2007, Sutil out-qualified and out-raced his team-mate Albers at all Grands Prix before the Dutchman was replaced by Sutil's countryman Markus Winkelhock, test driver for the team up until that time at theEuropean Grand Prix.Sutil out-qualified Winkelhock, although the latter went on to lead the race and restart after a sudden downpour. Winkelhock resumed his third driver role for the following grand prix atHungarywhenJapanesedriverSakon Yamamototook over the second team seat. Sutil out-performed Yamamoto in the race, passingHondadriversRubens BarrichelloandJenson Button.
In theHungarian Grand Prix,Sutil was the first Spyker driver in 2007 to beat another running classified finisher, Honda's Rubens Barrichello.[20]
For theTurkish Grand Prix,a B-spec car was expected for the Spyker team, but it failed a rear crash test and Sutil continued to use the older spec car. After fuel pressure problems, he was forced to start the race from the pits and finished five laps behind. AtMonza,despite the introduction of the B-spec Spyker F8-VII and due to the nature of the circuit, the Spykers were largely uncompetitive once again and Sutil finished 19th, again only in front of his team-mate.
At theBelgian Grand Prix,the strengths of the B-spec car were fully evident with both Sutil and Yamamoto setting competitive times through the three practice sessions culminating in Sutil qualifying only half a second behind 16th placed manVitantonio Liuzzi.During the race, Sutil passed theToyotaofJarno Trulli,Hondas of Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button as well as theRed Bull'sDavid Coulthard,Toro Rosso's Vitantonio Liuzzi andWilliamsdriverAlexander Wurz.He ran as high as 12th before finishing 14th. He was highly praised for his efforts by both team and media.[21]
Two weeks later in the rain atFuji Speedway,Japan, it seemed Sutil had narrowly missed an opportunity to score Spyker's first ever point, briefly holding 8th position on the penultimate lap of the high-attrition race afterNick Heidfeldretired hisBMW,but was almost immediately passed by fellow backmarker Vitantonio Liuzzi in the Toro Rosso and finished 9th. After the race it was found that Liuzzi had overtaken Sutil under yellow flags, and the 25-second penalty for the Italian promoted Sutil to the final points position. Toro Rosso appealed the decision, but the penalty was upheld.[22]

Spyker were not competitive in the final two races of the year, neither of which Sutil finished. He has been praised by many for his performances in the 2007 Formula One Championship. Despite driving the most uncompetitive car of the year, the German rookie impressed by not only dominating all of his teammates in both qualifying and race conditions, but also by challenging other drivers with superior equipment.
Force India (2008–2011, 2013)
[edit]- 2008
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5d/Adrian_Sutil_2008_Canada.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2008_Canada.jpg)
Sutil continued with the team in 2008 under its new identity asForce India,[23]after briefly entertaining the possibility of a drive withMcLarenorWilliams.[citation needed]The first two races of the season ended with mechanical failures[24]
While running in a very strong fourth position inMonacowith six laps remaining, he was hit in the rear by fifth placedKimi Räikkönenwho lost control of his car while braking for the harbour chicane. A crash a few laps earlier had resulted in the safety car being deployed, with Sutil losing his considerable lead over the Finnish driver. Sutil's car suffered damage to the rear diffuser, and he was forced to retire.[25]Mike Gascoynecalled for Räikkönen to be punished over the incident. No punishment, however, was given.[26]However, Sutil had overtaken three cars under yellow flags and according to steward Paul Gutjahr, should he have reached the chequered flag, he would have been given a 25-second penalty which would have dropped him out of the point-scoring positions.[27]
On 17 October Force India announced they would keep Sutil for the 2009 season.[28]
- 2009
Sutil and the Force India team started the year with a real optimism of points scoring finishes when the European part of the season started after the first four races.[29]BBC commentatorMartin Brundleexpressed his personal view that:
"Adrian Sutil will need to be a lot more consistent in 2009 if he is going to establish himself as a bona fide F1 driver. [However,] Sutil can put a good race together and I don't think the Force Indias will necessarily be at the bottom of the timesheets this season."[30]
InAustralia,after starting from 16th on the grid, Sutil progressed steadily through the field to finish just outside the points in 9th place. InMalaysia,he qualified 19th and finished 15th when the race was stopped on lap 33 due to torrential rain.
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Adrian_Sutil_2009_Turkey.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2009_Turkey.jpg)
InChina,Sutil was running in 6th place with 6 laps remaining when he lost control of his Force India – due to aquaplaning – resulting in him crashing and forcing him to retire.
InBahrain,Sutil was penalised for blocking Mark Webber during the first qualifying session. He personally walked into Mark's room to apologise for the incident.
InSpain,after running wide at the first corner of the first lap Sutil rejoined the track only to hit the Toyota ofJarno Trulli.The Italian had also run wide and was rejoining the track. This forced both drivers to retire and caused the two Toro Rossos ofSébastien BourdaisandSébastien Buemito crash into each other.
InMonaco,Sutil finished 14th and finished 17th inTurkey,after qualifying a career-best of 15th.

In qualifying inBritain,Sutil went off at Abbey corner after brake failure in Q1. Qualifying was red flagged and as a result no one else could post a lap time. This meant that Sutil was to start from 18th on the grid, although the team had hoped that both Sutil andGiancarlo Fisichellawould get into Q2. Due to the damage caused by the accident he had to start from the pit lane because he needed to use a new car and a new engine, and went on to finish 17th in an uneventful race.
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Adrian_Sutil_2009_Germany_2.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2009_Germany_2.jpg)
InGermany,Sutil took advantage of the unpredictable conditions in qualifying, and secured his best-ever qualifying position of seventh. In the race, he was lying in second place for a while before his first pit stop. However, a collision withKimi Räikkönenafter coming out of the pit lane meant he had to pit again to replace his front wing. He finished 15th. It was the second time that a collision with Räikkönen cost Sutil the chance to score points, after the previous incident at the2008 Monaco Grand Prix.
InHungary,he was forced to retire after just two laps because a water temperature problem caused the engine to overheat, after qualifying 17th.
InValencia,new aerodynamic upgrades for theVJM02saw him qualify 12th, and he then raced steadily to finish 10th, demonstrating that the team were at last showing signs of competitiveness, as teammate Fisichella finished 12th behind Heidfeld'sBMW Sauber.
InBelgium,he qualified 11th, although the main celebrations in the Force India pit were for teammateGiancarlo Fisichella's excellent pole position. Sutil finished 11th, while Fisichella finished less than a second behind Kimi Räikkönen's race-winning Ferrari.

At theItalian Grand Prix,Sutil took his career best qualifying result of second place and finished fourth in the race behind Räikkönen, despite accidentally overshooting his mechanics during his final pit stop, but they suffered only minor injuries. He also recorded the fastest lap of the race, his first in Formula One and the first fastest lap recorded for Force India. This finish would be the best of his F1 career.
InSingapore,Sutil was forced to retire after he collided withNick HeidfeldofBMW Sauber,moving into his path as he recovered from a spin. After the race, Sutil was reprimanded by race stewards and fined $20,000 for causing an avoidable accident.[31]
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Adrian_Sutil_2009_Japan_1st_Free_Practice.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2009_Japan_1st_Free_Practice.jpg)
InJapan,Sutil took his second best career qualifying result of fourth, but was given a 5 grid place penalty along with Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello andFernando Alonsofor not slowing down while yellow flags were waved (due to a crash by Sebastien Buemi, who was also demoted five places for attempting to drive his badly damaged Toro Rosso back to the pits) and started the race from eighth on the grid. Sutil finished 13th.
In the wet qualifying session inBrazil,Sutil qualified third, but retired on lap one following a collision with the Toyota of Jarno Trulli. Out of control on the wet grass outside Turn 5, Trulli hit Sutil, and then slid back onto the track and struck Alonso'sRenault,resulting in all three being out of the race. Trulli blamed Sutil for pushing him outside the track at the fifth corner and thus causing the accident, and furiously berated the German at the side of the track in full-view of worldwide TV cameras. This time the stewards took no action against Sutil for the accident, while Trulli was fined $10,000 for his unacceptable behaviour.[32]The matter was not resolved however, as Sutil and Trulli still argued about the accident two weeks later at the driver's press conference for theAbu Dhabi Grand Prix.[33]
In Abu Dhabi, Sutil was unusually off the pace, qualifying only 18th on the grid. Although he overtook several cars during the race, a poor pit strategy resulted in Sutil finishing the race at the back of the field, scrapping with Fisichella (who had joined Ferrari) and Renault'sRomain Grosjean.The German eventually finished 17th, 1 lap down but ahead of the Frenchman.

Sutil was in talks withForce Indiato renew his contract, and on 27 November 2009, the team announced that the German's contract had been renewed, while test-driverVitantonio Liuzziwas given a full-time race seat.[34]Sutil qualified tenth for the first two races of the year, but a collision withRobert Kubicain Bahrain and a mechanical failure in Australia meant he was unable to score points in either race. However, Sutil commented that the performances proved that the team could now score points in dry races.[35]This comment was backed up by Sutil's fifth-place finish in the following race inMalaysia.InChinahe finished 11th. InSpainhe finished 7th and inMonacohe finished 8th. Sutil again finished in the points inTurkeywith a 9th place. He followed this result with points scoring finishes in the next three rounds inCanada,EuropeandBritain.
- 2011
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Adrian_Sutil_2011_Malaysia_FP3.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2011_Malaysia_FP3.jpg)
Sutil remained with Force India for2011,and was joined byDTMchampionPaul di Resta.In the first three races of the season, Sutil was out-qualified by di Resta. Sutil finished ninth in theAustralian Grand Prix,at the expense of theSaubercars being disqualified from the race, having finished eleventh on the road. InMalaysia,Sutil finished eleventh, just behind di Resta, and inChina,he qualified eleventh. InMonaco,he had his best result of the season, finishing seventh. He retired inCanadaafter hitting a wall, which resulted in damage to his car's suspension. A ninth-place finish inValenciawas followed by eleventh at theBritish Grand Prix,missing out on the final points-scoring position, held byJaime Alguersuari,by just 0.6 seconds. At hishome race,Sutil took a season best finish of sixth place, after implementing a different strategy to some of the drivers around him on the grid, making just two pit stops to the three made by his rivals.
Despite qualifying in the top ten inHungary,Sutil could only finish 14th, before another points-scoring finish – finishing seventh, after starting 15th on the grid after an accident in qualifying – at theBelgian Grand Prix.He retired atMonzaafter his car suffered a hydraulics problem, before an eighth-place finish inSingapore,holding off a late-race challenge fromFelipe Massa.InJapan,Sutil ran inside the top ten placings for much of the race, but finished the race just outside the points in eleventh place, having been passed byVitaly PetrovandNico Rosbergin the closing stages of the race. Another eleventh place followed inKorea,before a ninth-place finish in the inaugural race inIndia.[36]At the final race inBrazil,Sutil matched his best finish of the season with sixth place, and as a result, moved into ninth place in the final championship standings.[37]As a result of his assault convictions (seeabove), Sutil was released at the end of the 2011 season and replaced withNico Hülkenberg.[38]
- 2013
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Adrian_Sutil_2013_Malaysia_FP1.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2013_Malaysia_FP1.jpg)
On 28 February 2013, Force India announced that Sutil would return to the team to complete their driver lineup alongsidePaul di Resta.[39]He finished seventh at the season-openingAustralian Grand Prix,impressing on his comeback by leading for a number of laps throughout the race.[40]
InMalaysia,he retired from the race following problems with a new captivewheel nutsystem that the team had introduced at the beginning of the season.[41]
He also retired from theChinese Grand Prix,after being hit byEsteban Gutiérrez.After two non-points finishes he showed a respectable performance at theMonaco Grand Prixby overtaking the world championsFernando AlonsoandJenson Buttonto finally end up in 5th position.[42]
Sauber (2014)
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Adrian_Sutil_2014_Singapore_FP2.jpg/220px-Adrian_Sutil_2014_Singapore_FP2.jpg)
It was announced on 13 December 2013 that Sutil would join Sauber for 2014.[1]For the first six races of the 2014 season Sutil struggled with a car which lacked pace and he also made a number of mistakes which lost him possible points finishes. At theJapanese Grand Prix,Sutil aquaplaned into turn seven on lap 42, stranding his car. Double yellow flags were waved at the corner while a recovery vehicle was dispatched to recover Sutil's car. The following lap,Jules Bianchi,who had ignored the yellow flags, lost control of hisMarussiaat a high speed, crashing into the recovery vehicle. Bianchi ultimately died on 17 July 2015, aged 25, due to complications from histraumatic brain injury.
In November 2014, it was announced he would be dropped and replaced for the2015 Formula One season.[43]
Williams (2015)
[edit]Sutil joinedWilliamsas a reserve driver prior to the2015 Malaysian Grand Prix.Sutil was appointed after Williams driverValtteri Bottaswas injured during theAustralian Grand Prix,with the team wanting an experienced race driver to deputise for either Bottas orFelipe Massato maximise their constructors championship points, should either race driver be unable to participate.[44]
