Adrian Sutil apparently Stabbed the owner of Genii-Capital, the owner of Renault F1

Apparently Adrian Sutil stabbed the owner of Genii-Capital in the neck with a broken glass or bottle of champagne in a nightclub after the F1 race in China.

This is the google translation of that which is a little off in translating but you get the idea.

Supposedly this is the 2nd largest newspaper in France so it would seem somewhat credible if they are reporting on this.

If this is true then he just threw his F1 career and way more away.

 

wow, even clubs in China have silly names.

Eric Lux, chief executive of Genii Capital, which owns Lotus Renault was left bloodied after the scrape with Formula One driver Adrian Sutil in a China nightclub.

A Lotus Renault team spokesman confirmed that an incident occurred involving Lux, but wouldn't be drawn on the details.

"Lotus Renault GP is, however, not in a position to make any comments, as it is a private matter between Eric and the other person."

Sutil reportedly injured Lux with a glass during the altercation, that left Lux with blood streaming down his neck.

The Force India driver has released a statement claiming the injury was accidental.

"At the event, which I attended as a private person, something happened which was a very unfortunate action on my part," he said.

"I injured another person completely unintentionally."

"I regret the incident very much and have apologised. As it is a private matter with no connection to F1 or my job as an F1 driver I hope you will understand that I will not answer any more questions on this."

Sutil's friend Lewis Hamilton was rushed out of the same room by his bodyguards moments later.

No charges have yet been laid and Formula One's governing body, the FIA, are not expected to investigate the matter.

 

Sutils only chance at grabbing some headlines?

99 broken bottles of beer on the neck
98 broken...

 

Breaking a bottle and going for someone's throat is serious business... in many places, that would be aggravated assault with serious intent or worse. It's also the sign of a very troubled mind.

Assuming he did do it and did it in anger, the guy needs to be put away for a while... breaking a bottle and going for the throat ain't like pushing someone who grabbed your GF's butt.

 

I was thinking the same thing, the big sites Planet F1, Autosport, etc. have not reported it yet. But what an idiot this guy is.

 

somehow i don't think he broke a bottle and intentionally went for his throat. even in china you will get arrested for such things, i mean that's attempted murder.

 

I read several F1 news feeds on Twitter report it, and he reportedly issued an apology. I'm confused why this isn't out there more (if true).

 

Surprising. I thought Alonso and Schumi were the most cut-throat drivers in F1...

 

Budda boom.

 

Something doesn't make sense.


The Chinese GP was 2 weeks ago...and Adrian Sutil raced in Turkey last Sunday. I guess there were no charges against him?

If it was a serious offense, why wasn't he fired from Force India, or F1 altogether within the last month?

 

The behavior and assault are unpardonable, but we do not 100% know what was really happening inside a dark VIP Club room, let's wait and see what Sutil and Hamilton have to say?

Greetz,

That's what I thought too. I feel like a lot of stories that originate in a "nightclub" are twisted or false. People boozing, loud music and little light doesn't help to make any story clear.

 

sutil already said, that he won't say anymore about the situation, because it is a private matter and has nothing to do with his professional career.

 

Can't be true...homosexuals are never that aggressive!

Sounds more like accidentally thrown stemware.....

Happens 'all the time" here in Texas, they'd better get used to it by 2012.....

 

A Moet bottle is too big, you need something like Lone Star or maybe a Shiner Blonde...

Corona is no good the glass is too thin and the whole bottle goes to pieces.

Heinkens have too short of a neck, to grab as a weapon.

 

I do, and it usually involves naked women.

 

The story has been twisted.

 

A better story would be:

"Lewis Hamilton stabs Adrian Sutil in a Shanghai club after Sutil was caught dancing provocatively with Hamiltons girlfriend, Nicole Scherzinger. Max Mosley emerged from the curtains behind the VIP room and quickly removed all the photographers equipment.."

 

LOL.

Stranger things have happened I suppose.

 

You mean " Nicole Sherzinger stabs Adrian Sutil in a Shanghai club after Sutil was caught dancing provocatively with Scherzingers boyfriend Lewis Hamilton."

 

LOL! Well played!

 

agreed. someone is in need of anger management, although i will say they don't discuss in detail the events that led him to take such action.
