Has he been dropped from force india??
Not yet, FI will announce drivers in December... But it appears Hulk has been signed and I can't see them getting rid of di Resta, he's done a good enough job and matched Sutil; no doubt he would also be cheaper.
Not sure where he's gonna go, but what does he really bring to the table? I think he may want to talk to Haug about a seat in the DTM :(
Lotus Renault? Or Renault Lotus?
Trulli has a contract and HK is a better driver.Quote:

You're right, Renault Lotus Genii (whatever the team's name is nowadays) are not into signing drivers based on performance. Given that Kubica won't come back there isn't better than Sutil available, unless they chose to keep the current line up, whom between the two of them did score 4 points in the last 5 races or so!Quote:

It doesn't matter what really happened as long as the fellow at Genii holds a grudge against Adrian. I think he's a good driver, he has a little Medion money to bring along, so I'd expect him to find a seat. As for Petrov, he has a contract signed with the Enstone team for 2012, for whatever it is worth.
i do not think he would go there after the glassingQuote:

Have to feel sorry for Sutil. To recap his career quickly, he was quite crash-happy in his first three F1 seasons and whoever doubted his F1 worthiness back then, had arguments. But in the last two seasons he has developed into a consistent and mature driver, who can score a decent amount of points over a full season for his team for WCC.
The way Sutil is likely to lose his place in F1 is quite reminiscent of Heidfeld from 2009. Done everything right, good consistent driving and outscoring his talented, young team-mate and then suddenly bam - no F1 seat in the game of musical chairs.
I think he would be a good fit for Williams if the Kimi-rumours fail to materialize. So there is still hope.
I will give my decision to Sutil soon: Mallya | News | NDTVSports.com
from a link i do not wish to postQuote:
Vijay Mallya on Thursday refused to reveal whether he will retain Adrian Sutil for the next season but said he would convey his decision to the German driver whenever he wants.
i think this is a bit(#%$#$#%%$) unfair so atleast let them know so they have time to look for another driveQuote:
Even di Resta, Sutil's current race teammate, is not feeling comfortable.
"It (the December announcement) does play on your mind, I won't deny it," he told the Guardian. "You have got to keep showing the results
It would be cool to see him in IndyCar next year.
I think a driver, whose future is unclear, would be wise to look for an alternative option anyway. But what they might find difficult to do, is committing to another drive (if it's in an inferior team).Quote:

Eric Lux did put in a criminal complaint somewhere about it though I don't know what happened as a result. I think its safe to say something unpleasant happened and that glassing an investor at LRGP isn't the best way to get a job there!Quote:

Medion investment might be exactly what Renault Lotus is looking for if Senna's money doesn't turn up next season! ;)
Just kidding!
Well, I am sure he will be careful not to anger The Slasher.Quote:

Did I miss something about a driver raping someone?Quote:

Are you making strange assumptions just for the sake of it?
Answers:
No
No
Yes
all in all how do we know that something like that was not happening to Sutil(attempted rape) at that nightclub ?Quote:

As for the possible court proceedings, he insisted: “We want the truth, absolutely. I hope it will come to light soon. I am ready to defend myself.”
Interesting!
Just like I am the best ever driver to drive my own car, but that doesnt make me special.Quote:

What, Alonso effectively rapes Massa every other weekend.........Quote:
