Sutil involved in nightclub incident
Adrian Sutil was involved in a nightclub incident with Eric Lux - the CEO of Renault owners Genii Capital - following the Chinese Grand Prix.
The Force India driver admitted that he was involved in an altercation at the M1NT nightclub, but said that any injuries sustained were accidental.
"At the event, which I attended as a private person, something happened which was a very unfortunate action on my part," Sutil said. "I injured another person completely unintentionally. I regret the incident very much and have apologised. As it is a private matter with no connection to F1 or my job as an F1 driver I hope you will understand that I will not answer any more questions on this."
Lux was seen with scars on his neck in the paddock in Turkey, amid reports that he had required stitches to a glass wound. A spokesperson for Renault acknowledged Lux was involved, but said it had no further knowledge of the incident.
"I can confirm that there has been an incident on Sunday after the Chinese GP involving Eric Lux, from Genii Capital. Lotus Renault GP is however not in a position to make any comments, as it is a private matter between Eric and the other person."
Sutil's Force India team also declined to comment on what it called a "private incident", while the FIA has confirmed that it will not be taking any action.
