PROFILE
Adrian Sutil

Adrian Sutil returned to Formula 1 in 2013 after a forced sabbatical in the previous season after Force India had dropped him in favour of Nico Hulkenberg. In what the German calls his second chance with Force India, his relationship with his team with which he made his F1 debut now continues.

Eager to carry on where he left off, Sutil will be concerned with the altercation he had with a team owner, which resulted in the driver being handed an 18-month suspended sentence for assault in a nightclub. The incident also cost him his friendship with Lewis Hamilton.

He can only leave those difficult moments behind if he performs well on the track.

Sutil got his break into F1 in 2006 when he joined Midland for three practice sessions. His speed impressed the team and he was signed on a multi-year contract starting from 2007 when it became Spyker and secured his, and the team’s, first point in a rain-lashed Japanese GP.

His performance at Force India improved gradually, but more significantly very slowly and his off track scuffle didn't make his life any easier either.
