Adrian Sutil enjoys his 15 minutes of fame; or should that be notoriety?
Former Force India Formula One driver Adrian Sutil has been found guilty of bodily harm by a Munich court and given an 18-month suspended sentence and a €200 000 (R2.05 million) fine for a night club brawl in China in 2011.
Judge Christiane Thiemann found Sutil, who has yet to find a race seat this year, guilty of injuring Eric Lux, chief executive of Renault F1 team owners Genii Capital, in a Shanghai nightclub after the Chinese Grand Prix.
REPEATED APOLOGIES
Lux needed stitches for a neck wound. The Renault team has since been renamed Lotus and Force India have already announced Germany's Nico Hulkenberg as Sutil's replacement.
Sutil had told the court on the first day of proceedings on Monday he had repeatedly apologised to Lux and denied it was his intention to hurt him but rather to throw a drink in his face.
