Sutil inconsolable after Monaco race, team complains to stewards

By on

Force India F1 Team driver Adrian Sutil inconsolable after being robbed of his fourt position in this afternoon's Monaco Grand Prix. World Champion Kimi Raikkonen crashed into the back of Sutil's VJM-01. The young German was forced to retire the race as Raikkonen was able to continue after a nose change.

After the race, Adrian Sutil declared to 'ITV': "It's really a shame, we were really close. Then Kimi crashed into my rear and destroyed my whole race. It was the best race of my whole career and it is really a shame, I can't say any more about it. I am so really disappointed."

As Sutil got out of his car, we could see that he was really emotional and that his team was trying to comfort the youngster. "I knew that in the race we had a chance. I knew from my performance last year that I am really strong here and after the first lap in the race I knew I liked the conditions and I was catching cars," Adrian continued.

"I took it easy, just to try not to go off or something then when I got the chance I really pushed. I did fastest laps in the race and it was great, I was really doing good. It's just so disappointing that in the last few laps all my work was over."

The Force India's Chief Technical Officer, Mike Gascoyne, and Adrian Sutil already paid a visit to the race stewards to complain about Kimi Raikkonen's actions. It is however doubtful that such a visit will change anything as Raikkonen's apparent mistake will most likely be regarded as a racing incident.
