Hard to know one isn't making a good enough effort if one isn't told this is the case .


His line of defence is that it was an accident , not that he didn't do it .
An out of court settlement in a case such as this is not bizarre at all , but rather , quite commonplace .


If Lux was not taking his calls , it would also be rather hard to arrange any kind of meeting in which to apologise , wouldn't it ?

Lux wanted to make this a big headline story, that's all it is to it.
Let's hope that Sutil's appeal will clear things up.

Seems pretty plausable , doesn't it Wilko(I got it right this time ...your name I mean) ?

So , you support this area of speculation then ?
Careful , you could get called a "Gambini" , supporting a "German shepherd" like me .

:up:

Funny how people around here slate an F1 driver who, in the worst case, made a mistake while supporting a character like Lux. Whatever happened to common sense?!

Making headlines is what Lux wanted, unless he is really a vindictive sob. Anyway not someone you would like to have to do with.

Not really worth an answer.

Why? It is an entirely genuine question. You seem to be suggesting a level of knowledge on the matter that superior to almost everyone else's here. Why don't you just say what this knowledge is based on?

It is the Hamilton deliberately misleading the court bit I take issue with in your earlier comments Baggy. (Please chastise me if you prefer not the Baggy moniker)

And yes - a 10/10 for you sir on the Wilko front. :)

Ah , come on .
Admit it .
I caught you agreeing with me there .

Hey , everybody !
Wilko agreed with some of my speculation !

Just make sure you use the three letters "bag" in whatever you call me , so I know it's me you're calling .

Knocky is much too cryptic when he's alluding to my "german shepherd"ness .

(i don't want to bag you) but i too would like to know the truth and nothing but the truth

May I suggest that you consult the oracle?

I just noticed something that maybe somebody could clear up for me .

Now , it's not surprising that Adrian would appeal .
But , is the lodging of the appeal from the presecution side just a normal matter of course ?

They asked for $300k and 21 months the first time , and got $200k and 18 months .
If they are appealing , are they asking for the original sentence for which they applied ?

If so , they have 3 months , and $100k to gain from this .

Is $100k going to cover the legal fees here ?


I would have thought that , with the appeal being lodged from Sutil's side , it would have been one of the spoils of victory to get the legal fees paid for by the appealing side . With a prosecution appeal lodged as well , it seems not to be the case .

Anybody out there who might clear this up ?
