    Unhappy Is Sutil in trouble?

    Apparently, Sutil has been involved in collision one way or the other in all 3 races. Will his super licence be revoked like Ide last year?
    Forza Jules! Forza Michael!

    No. Simply for the reason that he isn't stupidly off the pace of at least his team-mate like Ide was. Perceptions play a big part in here, methinks.

    He's more likely to be dumped over money issues than the FIA stepping in.

    Or running into too many things while racing and driving his boss towards bankruptcy!!
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    Arguably Sutil has a two-year contract, which means that he has time to reduce the amount of errors. At least he has got the raw speed.

    Raw speed is one thing - going round corners instead of hitting somebody is a pre-requisite.

    Adrian Sutil comes from Formula Nippon, maybe that explains his kamikaze style.

    He's been really fast on occasions, much more so than his fairly experienced teammate, he just can't keep the thing on the track. Ide was nowhere compared to Sato and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer even if he hadn't driven into Albers.

    Sutil was from the All Japan F3 the championship below FNippon where Ide was second. He can't keep crashing but he has beaten Albers in qualy twice already.
    Extremely impressed with the first 43 laps of Bourdais' race
