If there is one person who’s likely to be happy to see the back of Kimi Räikkönen, it will be Adrian Sutil. Now we’re only joking, but it’s hard to forget that two of Sutil’s most promising race finishes were thwarted by collisions with ‘The Iceman’ – Monaco 2008 and Germany 2009. That aside, the Force India driver, with three years of competitive Formula One under his belt, has clearly grown having managed to score five points with a fine fourth place at the 2009 Italian GP. Lucky for him then that the team he has raced for has also grown. If all goes according to plan at Silverstone, Adrian Sutil and Force India will be targeting podium finishes this season.While the young German might have first shown a talent for music being a prodigy at playing the piano, his true love, from the minute he set foot on a karting track, was racing. Sutil’s first F1 experience was as test driver for the Midland F1 team in 2006. By the end of the year though, he was promoted to second driver at the team, now named Spyker, where he consistently outperformed his teammate, the more experienced Christijan Albers. When Albers was replaced by Markus Winkelhock, Sutil went on to outrace him as well. He’s no rookie in F1 anymore, but Adrian Sutil still has a thing or two to prove, and 2010 could just be the year he does that.
