W as reported by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the public prosecutor's office has one year as a sentence Parole required for the racing driver. For the time being, two trial days are scheduled for the end of this month. Last year, Sutil injured the Luxembourg businessman Eric Lux with a glass in a nightclub in Shanghai.

Sutil expects an acquittal

Eight weeks later it was over Sutil from Graefelfing in Upper Bavaria was reported to the Lux incident in Munich. The racing driver had asserted several times that he did not want to injure the co-owner of the Lotus Renault team. 'We expect from the negotiation that the truth comes to the table,' said Sutil consultant Manfred Zimmermann. A statement from the public prosecutor's office was initially not available.

As the FAZ report says, the public prosecutor's office initially only demanded a penalty order for the currently contractless Sutil. The previous Force India pilot clearly did not want to admit his guilt. Therefore, the district court has now started a process. In the best case scenario, Sutil can be acquitted there. However, the sentence could also increase.

Sutil with several options for 2012

For Sutil, who only celebrated his 29th birthday on Wednesday, is coming this decision at the wrong time. The 29-year-old recently lost his regular position at his previous employer and is currently still looking for a new Formula 1 cockpit for the coming season. 'The negotiation has no impact on Adrian's future,' said Zimmermann.

Williams no longer seems to be the first option. As the manager explained to auto motor und sport, there are other alternatives. Sutil expects a decision about his future in the next seven days. The only other teams that still have a place for the former Force India pilot are Hispania and Caterham.

Bloody argument in Shanghai

It will be interesting to see if potential employers distance themselves from Sutil through the procedure. The incident in question occurred on April 17th after the Chinese Grand Prix. Sutil and his colleague Lewis Hamilton wanted to celebrate the Briton's victory in the race.

At a party in a club, Sutil and Lux ​​then had an argument. The Germanalways stressed that the accident happened unintentionally. The aggression did not come from him. During the argument, however, a champagne glass was broken, and the shards injured Lux's neck. The wound had to be stitched.

After the incident, both parties could not reach an out-of-court settlement of the dispute. The Luxembourger then filed a complaint. In court, witnesses should now shed light on the affair. In the course of the investigation, Lewis Hamilton also had to make a statement. There is also a video of the incident.
