STR's Sebastian Vettel is not very happy with Adrian Sutil after the Force India driver spun in front of him in Barcelona yesterday. Vettel was left with nowhere to go but to plough into the Kingfisher branded VJM01 to record his fourth DNF from four races. During the incident, Sutil also hit RBR's David Coulthard, but the Brit continued on.
"This is very disappointing, especially as there was nothing I could do about it," Vettel said in the team's post-race press release.
Describing the incident, he said, "The collision happened at Turn 4, when Adrian
(Sutil) was far too optimistic in attempting an overtaking manoeuvre.
He clipped an other car and that spun him round right in front of me.
"I tried to get through on the inside, but there was no way for
me to go. I might have managed it, but I had a Super Aguri also trying
to get past it."
With Bourdais having clocked up 2 points this season, and Fisichella putting in some impressive performances so far, both men will want to finish well in Turkey in two weeks time.
last time at Spyker this sort of performance was noted the driver was replaced. I would still give Sutil a chance but I would immediately split his seat with Liuzzi at least to get Sutil moving.. I wouldnt underestimate Liuzzi nor would I scrap Sutil - he is an asset in my opinion.
Undoubtedly, Sutil is a good driver and he would probably see the move to replace him with Tonio, even temporarily, as a show of no confidence. However, a break might be the best thing for Sutil right now from the managements point of view.

May be he would be given one more chance....or might not too....he looks totally out of control sorts......if he has DNF in the next he would be replaced...and Luizzi is sure to grab that opportunity with both hands.
I never liked Zettel, this wannabe guy in my age...I'd like to drive against him and show him where the hammer hangs, I mean he thinks "oh yea, with 19/20 sooo big and yea I'm the Champion of the world"...yet this waterhead has no chance really.
I thought with 18 as well, "OH yea, already 18, speakin 10 languages, having 2 graduations and job titles" but I stayed on the ground at least, because I haven't lost contact to reality.

This is a tough one for me because I want to see both of these squads do well. That being said, I am less and less impressed with Sutil with each new incident. I'm not ready to call for his head just yet, but he needs to show that he can keep things under control from here on out.

I am ok with Adrian, I am sure he is doing his best
Sometimes a person needs little bit of luck beside
all other things
Lets wish him good luck for the next race
My Qs. is to Mr. Colin Kolles and the management of FI
- How bad Narain would have performed
- Would they have reacted the same way they are supporting
Sutil's driving
- If Narain had performed like Sutil - would u guys have
reacted the same (I doubt it)
I am not sure why there is so much praise going on for last
race of FI, GF came 10 in 13 car race and that also lapped,
to me its still called bottom
I am impressed by Auguris and their fighting spirit
Big mobile houses don't impress me
I can bet ... little bit of funds for Auguris and they
can trash FI hands down
It is bloody politics dear. Karthikeyan is fired because of some XYZ reasons and he was faster than many in the league. He fought with TOYOTA's the then engine suppliers in many occasions.
Sutil is just ruining the whole team by crashes. What kind of driver he is if he cannot drive the car beyond the 1st corner. How many times had Narain crashed in the 1st corner. Also he is creating trouble for some other teams. I hope you people remember the reason behind Yuji Ide's F1 licence being scrapped by FIA.
Why the team specifically Mr Collis is favouring so much for Adrin Sutil.
Why Force India is not replacing Mr Collis?
The he repalced Albers through Sakon..so what is going on then.
Force India will suffer if it not replacing these unwanted people.
As per Narain Collis was asking 9million USD for a drive in SPYKAR. How much then ADRIAN is paying?
How many races ADRIAN has own in his life in comprasion Luzzi/Others?

I think you have drunk a bit too much, go back sleeping and stop shouting all your problems you have with Formula One at us.
If you do not like F1 anymore, don't watch it, as easy as it is.
well it IS on purpose, because I do not hold much of him, and cuz "Zettel" means "paper note"..you can just imagine how big my respect or whatnot is, XD
What kind of problem? It is a forum and everyone has all the rights to share their views and as long as the views have some relevance they are fine.
If you donot like the opinion then donot read. The facts are facts. Sutil does not deserve to drive any more. It is better switch to some other drivers. Hope you like this piece of testing!!!!!

not at all, and if someone insulted your friend you would act the same way as I did.

But you can't ignore the facts, Sutil screwed up big time.

I admit, I also drove in a race last year without TC and in the first curve I wanted to pass some slower ones on the inside, went on the grass and spun.
Well, that was the only real out I had.
And I'm quite sure the same thing would happen to you if you do it.
Secondly in Australia Adrian had hydraulic problems and in Malaysia as well, basically, so what do you want?
In Bahrain it was unlucky, and ya know what?
I'm not the only one who dislikes Zettel, .
But overtaking that little wannabe waterhead is unfortunately not easy.
What you did it what ever little race is not relevant here. Nor is your dislike for Vettel, it doesn't change what happend. I also don't drive F1 cars(suprise suprise) so most of what you just said is random.
Overtaking Vettel is not easy, the same goes for a few drivers. In this case Sutil was not over taking him, lost control miles behind and spun into him.

O RLY?... have you finally seen the race or what?
Cuz that what you say is what I say the whole time, and YOU started with stuff like "OH what blablablbla overtaking Vettel"
Zettel should have just opened his eyes, we had similiar situations in F1 before and in most cases someone crashed, so why do you even overreact like that?
soluto_de_lugol This guy is just asking for an argument. Leave him alone. Keiba, I would recomend you to stop living other peoples' lifes... it's not healthy.
