Sutil to return?
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2012 2:43 pm
He got away with it very likely, but only because of his wealth (Because of his F1 status/money earned there) If he was just an average person he would of been locked up for a very long time in China for his crime.potter84 wrote:Lets face it he shouldn't even be allowed a super licence let alone race again, force India dropped him and didn't stand by him during his case for a reason to take him back would have a detrimental effect on their image amongst fans and sponsors alike. As i said though we will soon see, has the fia allowed him to keep his licence they said they would review it in future?
Funny in his younger days he was pretty crash and mistake prone too. How quick people forget. He got Trulli very angry about an incident he caused and ended Heidfeld's long run of finishes without retirement.RebellionLola wrote:he is gonna kick di resta, maldonado ,bottas ,hulkenber m guitterezz 's donkeys and teach these amateurs how to be fast without crashing every two laps
This. Sutil is nothing special and in the 5 years he was with the team they didn't exactly go shooting up the grid other than the odd one off race. He had his time, he didn't do much and he left. That should be that.froze wrote:I think there are more deserving drivers for the remaining seats. Let's face it, Sutil did have a fair run of 5 years in F1 during which he lost to Fisico 3 years in a row.

It has nothing to do with what he did in that nightclub. He just isn't a good enough driver for F1.potter84 wrote:Had a few memorable press conferences though. I agree though leave it at that visa problems bad publicity, its not football seats in f1 are goldust and shouldn't be taken up by thugs its bad for the sport, funny when temps boil at the track but to attack someone with a glass is just not what this sport needs the remaining seats should really go to deserving drivers who can maintain their public image at all times which is required of people in the public eye as well as drive.

Singapore 2009 : recovering from a spin and crash with Heidfeld.
Brazil 2009 : crash with Trulli in the 1st lap, also collected Grosjean.
Bahrain 2010 : collision with Kubica at the 1st corner.
Don't forget throwing it at the wall in china 09 or Canada 07 both times throwing away a rare points finish both times.RebellionLola wrote:wow mate you got me there , 3 accidents in 3 years , that is a disasterJa'a wrote:Lol.RebellionLola wrote:he is gonna kick di resta, maldonado ,bottas ,hulkenber m guitterezz 's donkeys and teach these amateurs how to be fast without crashing every two laps

You mean except for going from being concrete backmarkers to regularly getting through to Q3? Force India have gone from being a laughing stock in their first 2 years to being a midfield team that people really want to drive for! I'd wager Sutil (and Fisi) had a fairly big impact on how that development curve went.Laura23 wrote:This.

Yet you fail to mention his run of 6 points finishes in 2010 or finishing in the points in half the races in the 2010 and 2011 season, compared to only 14 points finishes for his team mates. He also beat Di Resta and Liuzzi by double the amount of points (considering what we know about how average Liuzzi was, does that say something about Di Resta?). In a midfield car those are some pretty good claims.mikeyg123 wrote:Don't forget throwing it at the wall in china 09 or Canada 07 both times throwing away a rare points finish both times.RebellionLola wrote:wow mate you got me there , 3 accidents in 3 years , that is a disasterJa'a wrote:Lol.RebellionLola wrote:he is gonna kick di resta, maldonado ,bottas ,hulkenber m guitterezz 's donkeys and teach these amateurs how to be fast without crashing every two laps

He beat di Resta by closer to 50% his points total, not double, and it was di Resta's first year in F1, which when you compare Sutil's greater experience, I think that was a very respectable season for di Resta against Sutil. What has showed up di Resta this season was the performance of Hulkenberg, coming in after a year away and putting together a good run of results in the second half of the season.Volantary wrote:Yet you fail to mention his run of 6 points finishes in 2010 or finishing in the points in half the races in the 2010 and 2011 season, compared to only 14 points finishes for his team mates.

If you want to talk about accidents like that, you could do it about almost any driver. Perez has thrown it off the road twice in the last 5 races and he's getting a Mclaren seat!
Sorry, maths fail, I managed to get 27 * 2 = 44 because I'm a genius But we shall see about Sutil should he return.hittheapex wrote:-snip-
That's quite rich remembering how in 2009 he was single-handedly responsible for losing 8th place in WCC to Renault, because his gherkin poor performances (Spa, absolutely abysmal when his teammate was fighting for a win) and god knows how many crashes. My favourite one was in Singapore, when he recovered from a spin only to ram poor Heidfeld, what a moronic manoeuvre that was.RebellionLola wrote:he is gonna kick di resta, maldonado ,bottas ,hulkenber m guitterezz 's donkeys and teach these amateurs how to be fast without crashing every two laps
Again, you can do that with any driver. What about His Lewisness in Hungary 2011, span in the wet then decided to spin the car around, very narrowly missing a head on collision Di Resta. Or His Vettelness t-boning Jenson at Spa 2010 because he was too ambitious into the bus stop. Or maybe Jenson taking his front wing off in an attempt to pass an impossibly slow HRT in Malaysia this year.Armchair Expert wrote:That's quite rich remembering how in 2009 he was single-handedly responsible for losing 8th place in WCC to Renault, because his gherkin poor performances (Spa, absolutely abysmal when his teammate was fighting for a win) and god knows how many crashes.

BTW. Sutil can only dream about having talent comparable to Hulkenberg or Bottas.
Doesn't the same apply to Senna and Buemi then? Both were average if you ask me. Out of those you listed, only Bianchi hasn't had a chance.diablof1 wrote:sutil had his chance. he was average then anything else, therefore he should not be signed up. there are many drivers who deserve a seat like kk, alguersuari, bianchi, senna and buemi.
buemi was even stevens with alguersuari and both showed potential so deserve another chance. about pastor your right he did not keep his mind at check a few times but he has improved and showed us that win in spain was no fluke. senna is 50/50, but give him pre- season testing with friday testing he might surprise some people.rocks4brains wrote:Doesn't the same apply to Senna and Buemi then?

Sutil at least has the speed, Senna was humiliated last season by Maldonado. Pastor just didn't manage to keep a cool head. You can learn from mistakes, you can't learn speed.
I agree Sutil had his chance but Senna has had three chances in three different cars. If he was any good, he'd still be in one of them.
Buemi and Alguersuari were both very very average and never shown anything special at all, all they shown is they was very average drivers at best. Or though Sutil not a world beater he did show he was a better driver than both of them in F1.diablof1 wrote:buemi was even stevens with alguersuari and both showed potential so deserve another chance. about pastor your right he did not keep his mind at check a few times but he has improved and showed us that win in spain was no fluke. senna is 50/50, but give him pre- season testing with friday testing he might surprise some people.rocks4brains wrote:Doesn't the same apply to Senna and Buemi then?

I'd rather see some new blood given the chance also.MikeV1987 wrote:Give Jules Bianchi a chance, Sutil had his shot already.
No one knows if Sutil is a better driver than those two. They had different cars and differing levels of performance over the season. How do we not know that Sutil may have been severely underperforming in the Force India? You just can't tell.Jomox wrote:Buemi and Alguersuari were both very very average and never shown anything special at all, all they shown is they was very average drivers at best.

Sutil had sponsorship money from Medion. That's why he kept his seat so long, that and there wasn't exactly an influx of young talent in the 07-10 period save for Hamilton and Vettel. If he didn't have those millions then I doubt he'd have seen 2009 with FI.Jomox wrote:But in F1 it's not just about beating your team mate, it's about showing you are capable of F1 even in midfield teams as others have done before getting a better driver. Buemi and Alguersuari were both very very average and never shown anything special and got dropped as a result, that's F1.
Regardless of how they compare to Sutil he at least did enough to keep a seat in F1 and would of stayed if it was not for him nearly killing someone. (Even if he was not a world beater)
Okay so , is The Hulk also average? As Sutil beat Di Resta better than the Hulk. Hulk & Di Resta both was very close untill the last few races of the season. Yes Di Resta was a rookie but who's to say he's actually improved this season, however 2011 and 2012 the Force India was pretty much the same in terms of speed yet Sutil managed to finish 9th in 2011 while the Hulk 11th this year. So even though you don't think the Hulk is average by saying Sutil is average (despite doing better than the Hulk in the FI) you are really saying he is.Laura23 wrote:Sutil had sponsorship money from Medion.

But he was just as average a driver as either of the two you mentioned.
