Adrian Sutil

<h2 id="racing-biography">Racing biography</h2>
<h3>Karting and Junior Formulae</h3>
Sutil started <a href="/facts/Kart_racing/bYyC422T">karting</a> at 14 before moving up to <a href="/facts/Switzerland/LcGuxeTe">Swiss</a> <a href="/facts/Formula_Ford/Y5Gx5u1f">Formula Ford</a> 1800 in 2002. He won all ten rounds of the season from <a href="/facts/Pole_position/1EHhy3x8">pole</a> and added five wins in the <a href="/facts/International_Formula_Master/sN4V5BIa">Formula Masters</a> <a href="/facts/Austria/4qWIMIyc">Austria</a> championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2">2</a>

<h3>Formula BMW and Formula Three</h3>
When Sutil moved up to the <a href="/facts/Formula_BMW/w3fr40fn">Formula BMW</a> ADAC championship in 2003 he finished in sixth place in the series, but with no wins. The following season he stepped up to the <a href="/facts/Formula_Three_Euroseries/6ndUkPMx">Formula 3 Euroseries</a> with <a href="/facts/Colin_Kolles/mHw0kQhU">Colin Kolles</a>' team. Although he scored only twice, the connection he made with Kolles would prove useful in the future. He moved to the <a href="/facts/ASM_Formule_3/p9mRxY4R">ASM</a> team at the final round of the year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a>
Sutil stayed with ASM for 2005 and was joined by British driver <a href="/facts/Lewis_Hamilton/rqSQeCXq">Lewis Hamilton</a>. Hamilton won more races than Sutil, but the German was runner-up to Hamilton and the Briton's only serious competitor in the championship and at the <a href="/facts/Masters_of_Formula_3/4LTaXG70">Marlboro Masters of Formula Three</a> at <a href="/facts/Circuit_Park_Zandvoort/UVxRdRDD">Zandvoort</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a>
Sutil missed the last two rounds of the <a href="/facts/2005_Formula_Three_Euroseries_season/9nbmk5bG">2005 Euroseries</a> after joining <a href="/facts/A1_Team_Germany/HpNtlp6h">A1 Team Germany</a> for the inaugural <a href="/facts/A1_Grand_Prix/LClnJXTp">A1 Grand Prix</a> series. He raced for them at three events in Portugal, Australia and Dubai, his best result being two twelfth places.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a>
He spent 2006 racing in Japan and won the <a href="/facts/All-Japan_Formula_Three/g8pqnwks">All-Japan Formula Three Championship</a>. He showed a very strong performance all season. He also finished third in the <a href="/facts/Macau_Grand_Prix/ynoTIgWU">Macau Formula Three Grand Prix</a> and made a one-off appearance in Japanese <a href="/facts/Super_GT/V1l1Po6N">Super GT</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a>

<h3>Formula One</h3>
<h4>Midland (2006)</h4>

That year also saw Sutil enter Formula One. In January, he was confirmed as one of the three test drivers for the new <a href="/facts/Midland_F1_Racing/o0gxGyWU">Midland F1 Racing</a> team, along with <a href="/facts/Markus_Winkelhock/Jr6wor98">Markus Winkelhock</a> and <a href="/facts/Giorgio_Mondini/nDIqLPJ8">Giorgio Mondini</a>. This came thanks to his connections with Colin Kolles, who was then running the team.
Sutil appeared for the team as the third driver at the <a href="/facts/2006_European_Grand_Prix/amdoPwYx">European</a>, <a href="/facts/2006_French_Grand_Prix/F7m4FUbD">French</a> and <a href="/facts/2006_Japanese_Grand_Prix/KgQ8IuEJ">Japanese Grands Prix</a>. By the time of his third appearance, the outfit had been bought by <a href="/facts/Spyker_Cars/nNS4seVc">Spyker Cars</a>. At the end of the year, he was promoted to second driver for the 2007 season, having been signed on a multi-year contract by the <a href="/facts/Spyker_F1/pYMjMSgs">Spyker MF1 Team</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> In an interview with the Official Formula One website, Sutil's first 2007 teammate, <a href="/facts/Christijan_Albers/hddEWJlY">Christijan Albers</a>, commented that "Adrian is a good driver and he will be quick this year, but as a driver you should always be pushing to the limits without thinking what the guy in the car next to you is doing. But Adrian will be a good team-mate and it looks as though he's going to be a big talent [for the future]".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>

<h4>Spyker (2007)</h4>

During 2007, Sutil out-qualified and out-raced his team-mate Albers at all Grands Prix before the Dutchman was replaced by Sutil's countryman Markus Winkelhock, test driver for the team up until that time at the <a href="/facts/2007_European_Grand_Prix/1oIRyo5v">European Grand Prix</a>. Sutil out-qualified Winkelhock, although the latter went on to lead the race and restart after a sudden downpour. Winkelhock resumed his third driver role for the following grand prix at <a href="/facts/2007_Hungarian_Grand_Prix/lNxSUQux">Hungary</a> when <a href="/facts/Japanese_people/MSKDKv3J">Japanese</a> driver <a href="/facts/Sakon_Yamamoto/jeNGxMnj">Sakon Yamamoto</a> took over the second team seat. Sutil out-performed Yamamoto in the race, passing <a href="/facts/Honda_Racing_F1/4ktQ594F">Honda</a> drivers <a href="/facts/Rubens_Barrichello/cn9t03Dg">Rubens Barrichello</a> and <a href="/facts/Jenson_Button/B7pxnoNa">Jenson Button</a>.
In the <a href="/facts/2007_Hungarian_Grand_Prix/lNxSUQux">Hungarian Grand Prix</a>, Sutil was the first Spyker driver in 2007 to beat another running classified finisher, Honda's Rubens Barrichello.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a>
For the <a href="/facts/2007_Turkish_Grand_Prix/CQwdLy5g">Turkish Grand Prix</a>, a B-spec car was expected for the Spyker team, but it failed a rear crash test and Sutil continued to use the older spec car. After fuel pressure problems, he was forced to start the race from the pits and finished five laps behind. At <a href="/facts/2007_Italian_Grand_Prix/Mbnbr75J">Monza</a>, despite the introduction of the B-spec Spyker F8-VII and due to the nature of the circuit, the Spykers were largely uncompetitive once again and Sutil finished 19th, again only in front of his team-mate.

At the <a href="/facts/2007_Belgian_Grand_Prix/ybmVU7FI">Belgian Grand Prix</a>, the strengths of the B-spec car were fully evident with both Sutil and Yamamoto setting competitive times through the three practice sessions culminating in Sutil qualifying only half a second behind 16th placed man <a href="/facts/Vitantonio_Liuzzi/JbS2zXVD">Vitantonio Liuzzi</a>. During the race, Sutil passed the <a href="/facts/Toyota_Racing_(Formula_One_team)/Mmd1w55R">Toyota</a> of <a href="/facts/Jarno_Trulli/9PwKhKUc">Jarno Trulli</a>, Hondas of Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button as well as the <a href="/facts/Red_Bull_Racing/l9JjPJzJ">Red Bull</a>'s <a href="/facts/David_Coulthard/QQxeEpmp">David Coulthard</a>, <a href="/facts/Scuderia_Toro_Rosso/GDjdwTCe">Toro Rosso</a>'s Vitantonio Liuzzi and <a href="/facts/WilliamsF1/IpLQRtum">Williams</a> driver <a href="/facts/Alexander_Wurz/DqvmRWgP">Alexander Wurz</a>. He ran as high as 12th before finishing 14th. He was highly praised for his efforts by both team and media.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>
Two weeks later in the rain at <a href="/facts/2007_Japanese_Grand_Prix/a9xLt4M6">Fuji Speedway</a>, Japan, it seemed Sutil had narrowly missed an opportunity to score Spyker's first ever point, briefly holding 8th position on the penultimate lap of the high-attrition race after <a href="/facts/Nick_Heidfeld/KtTldvNH">Nick Heidfeld</a> retired his <a href="/facts/BMW_Sauber/7moSPI7N">BMW</a>, but was almost immediately passed by fellow backmarker Vitantonio Liuzzi in the Toro Rosso and finished 9th. After the race it was found that Liuzzi had overtaken Sutil under yellow flags, and the 25-second penalty for the Italian promoted Sutil to the final points position. Toro Rosso appealed the decision, but the penalty was upheld.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>

Spyker were not competitive in the final two races of the year, neither of which Sutil finished. He has been praised by many for his performances in the 2007 Formula One Championship. Despite driving the most uncompetitive car of the year, the German rookie impressed by not only dominating all of his teammates in both qualifying and race conditions, but also by challenging other drivers with superior equipment.

<h4>Force India (2008–2011, 2013)</h4>
2008

Sutil continued with the team in 2008 under its new identity as <a href="/facts/Force_India/6J7M9qXx">Force India</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> after briefly entertaining the possibility of a drive with <a href="/facts/McLaren_(racing)/yLYrH3BT">McLaren</a> or <a href="/facts/WilliamsF1/IpLQRtum">Williams</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> The first two races of the season ended with mechanical failures<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>
While running in a very strong fourth position in <a href="/facts/2008_Monaco_Grand_Prix/8v2Tbcpy">Monaco</a> with six laps remaining, he was hit in the rear by fifth placed <a href="/facts/Kimi_R%25C3%25A4ikk%25C3%25B6nen/EkW8ErE7">Kimi Räikkönen</a> who lost control of his car while braking for the harbour chicane. A crash a few laps earlier had resulted in the safety car being deployed, with Sutil losing his considerable lead over the Finnish driver. Sutil's car suffered damage to the rear diffuser, and he was forced to retire.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> <a href="/facts/Mike_Gascoyne/BgUEoo5t">Mike Gascoyne</a> called for Räikkönen to be punished over the incident. No punishment, however, was given.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> However, Sutil had overtaken three cars under yellow flags and according to steward Paul Gutjahr, should he have reached the chequered flag, he would have been given a 25-second penalty which would have dropped him out of the point-scoring positions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a>
On 17 October Force India announced they would keep Sutil for the 2009 season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a>

2009
Sutil and the Force India team started the year with a real optimism of points scoring finishes when the European part of the season started after the first four races.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> BBC commentator <a href="/facts/Martin_Brundle/2S3l31J2">Martin Brundle</a> expressed his personal view that:

<blockquote>"Adrian Sutil will need to be a lot more consistent in 2009 if he is going to establish himself as a bona fide F1 driver. [However,] Sutil can put a good race together and I don't think the Force Indias will necessarily be at the bottom of the timesheets this season."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a></blockquote>
In <a href="/facts/2009_Australian_Grand_Prix/o6NvmYmg">Australia</a>, after starting from 16th on the grid, Sutil progressed steadily through the field to finish just outside the points in 9th place. In <a href="/facts/2009_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/fxbJrJAX">Malaysia</a>, he qualified 19th and finished 15th when the race was stopped on lap 33 due to torrential rain.

In <a href="/facts/2009_Chinese_Grand_Prix/dAfkhPhr">China</a>, Sutil was running in 6th place with 6 laps remaining when he lost control of his Force India – due to aquaplaning – resulting in him crashing and forcing him to retire.
In <a href="/facts/2009_Bahrain_Grand_Prix/g9HCyfE0">Bahrain</a>, Sutil was penalised for blocking Mark Webber during the first qualifying session. He personally walked into Mark's room to apologise for the incident.
In <a href="/facts/2009_Spanish_Grand_Prix/4ETsILHU">Spain</a>, after running wide at the first corner of the first lap Sutil rejoined the track only to hit the Toyota of <a href="/facts/Jarno_Trulli/9PwKhKUc">Jarno Trulli</a>. The Italian had also run wide and was rejoining the track. This forced both drivers to retire and caused the two Toro Rossos of <a href="/facts/S%25C3%25A9bastien_Bourdais/3wq6EJXE">Sébastien Bourdais</a> and <a href="/facts/S%25C3%25A9bastien_Buemi/QhwcDwPr">Sébastien Buemi</a> to crash into each other.
In <a href="/facts/2009_Monaco_Grand_Prix/9I5XuQ6h">Monaco</a>, Sutil finished 14th and finished 17th in <a href="/facts/2009_Turkish_Grand_Prix/wUcqt7ra">Turkey</a>, after qualifying a career-best of 15th.

In qualifying in <a href="/facts/2009_British_Grand_Prix/dRewswtP">Britain</a>, Sutil went off at Abbey corner after brake failure in Q1. Qualifying was red flagged and as a result no one else could post a lap time. This meant that Sutil was to start from 18th on the grid, although the team had hoped that both Sutil and <a href="/facts/Giancarlo_Fisichella/l6lkcFpS">Giancarlo Fisichella</a> would get into Q2. Due to the damage caused by the accident he had to start from the pit lane because he needed to use a new car and a new engine, and went on to finish 17th in an uneventful race.

In <a href="/facts/2009_German_Grand_Prix/WCfHj01b">Germany</a>, Sutil took advantage of the unpredictable conditions in qualifying, and secured his best-ever qualifying position of seventh. In the race, he was lying in second place for a while before his first pit stop. However, a collision with <a href="/facts/Kimi_R%25C3%25A4ikk%25C3%25B6nen/EkW8ErE7">Kimi Räikkönen</a> after coming out of the pit lane meant he had to pit again to replace his front wing. He finished 15th. It was the second time that a collision with Räikkönen cost Sutil the chance to score points, after the previous incident at the <a href="/facts/2008_Monaco_Grand_Prix/8v2Tbcpy">2008 Monaco Grand Prix</a>.
In <a href="/facts/2009_Hungarian_Grand_Prix/n5QpjWA3">Hungary</a>, he was forced to retire after just two laps because a water temperature problem caused the engine to overheat, after qualifying 17th.
In <a href="/facts/2009_European_Grand_Prix/Qw2fAdrP">Valencia</a>, new aerodynamic upgrades for the <a href="/facts/Force_India_VJM02/1kxkzra9">VJM02</a> saw him qualify 12th, and he then raced steadily to finish 10th, demonstrating that the team were at last showing signs of competitiveness, as teammate Fisichella finished 12th behind Heidfeld's <a href="/facts/BMW_Sauber/7moSPI7N">BMW Sauber</a>.
In <a href="/facts/2009_Belgian_Grand_Prix/xuboHHh8">Belgium</a>, he qualified 11th, although the main celebrations in the Force India pit were for teammate <a href="/facts/Giancarlo_Fisichella/l6lkcFpS">Giancarlo Fisichella</a>'s excellent pole position. Sutil finished 11th, while Fisichella finished less than a second behind Kimi Räikkönen's race-winning Ferrari.

At the <a href="/facts/2009_Italian_Grand_Prix/F8MWrnss">Italian Grand Prix</a>, Sutil took his career best qualifying result of second place and finished fourth in the race behind Räikkönen, despite accidentally overshooting his mechanics during his final pit stop, but they suffered only minor injuries. He also recorded the fastest lap of the race, his first in Formula One and the first fastest lap recorded for Force India. This finish would be the best of his F1 career.
In <a href="/facts/2009_Singapore_Grand_Prix/0FPINJVy">Singapore</a>, Sutil was forced to retire after he collided with <a href="/facts/Nick_Heidfeld/KtTldvNH">Nick Heidfeld</a> of <a href="/facts/BMW_Sauber/7moSPI7N">BMW Sauber</a>, moving into his path as he recovered from a spin. After the race, Sutil was reprimanded by race stewards and fined $20,000 for causing an avoidable accident.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a>

In <a href="/facts/2009_Japanese_Grand_Prix/vFgKuuSX">Japan</a>, Sutil took his second best career qualifying result of fourth, but was given a 5 grid place penalty along with Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello and <a href="/facts/Fernando_Alonso/9SapruYS">Fernando Alonso</a> for not slowing down while yellow flags were waved (due to a crash by Sebastien Buemi, who was also demoted five places for attempting to drive his badly damaged Toro Rosso back to the pits) and started the race from eighth on the grid. Sutil finished 13th.
In the wet qualifying session in <a href="/facts/2009_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/LkFdxqSA">Brazil</a>, Sutil qualified third, but retired on lap one following a collision with the Toyota of Jarno Trulli. Out of control on the wet grass outside Turn 5, Trulli hit Sutil, and then slid back onto the track and struck Alonso's <a href="/facts/Renault_F1/nMxe9Sl8">Renault</a>, resulting in all three being out of the race. Trulli blamed Sutil for pushing him outside the track at the fifth corner and thus causing the accident, and furiously berated the German at the side of the track in full-view of worldwide TV cameras. This time the stewards took no action against Sutil for the accident, while Trulli was fined $10,000 for his unacceptable behaviour.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> The matter was not resolved however, as Sutil and Trulli still argued about the accident two weeks later at the driver's press conference for the <a href="/facts/2009_Abu_Dhabi_Grand_Prix/EJVTJFdE">Abu Dhabi Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a>
In Abu Dhabi, Sutil was unusually off the pace, qualifying only 18th on the grid. Although he overtook several cars during the race, a poor pit strategy resulted in Sutil finishing the race at the back of the field, scrapping with Fisichella (who had joined Ferrari) and Renault's <a href="/facts/Romain_Grosjean/Fcc4lblN">Romain Grosjean</a>. The German eventually finished 17th, 1 lap down but ahead of the Frenchman.

2010

Sutil was in talks with <a href="/facts/Force_India/6J7M9qXx">Force India</a> to renew his contract, and on 27 November 2009, the team announced that the German's contract had been renewed, while test-driver <a href="/facts/Vitantonio_Liuzzi/JbS2zXVD">Vitantonio Liuzzi</a> was given a full-time race seat.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> Sutil qualified tenth for the first two races of the year, but a collision with <a href="/facts/Robert_Kubica/b3cWQBna">Robert Kubica</a> in Bahrain and a mechanical failure in Australia meant he was unable to score points in either race. However, Sutil commented that the performances proved that the team could now score points in dry races.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> This comment was backed up by Sutil's fifth-place finish in the following race in <a href="/facts/2010_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/2G4rUICS">Malaysia</a>. In <a href="/facts/2010_Chinese_Grand_Prix/VXjabrC7">China</a> he finished 11th. In <a href="/facts/2010_Spanish_Grand_Prix/fl7aP9Lo">Spain</a> he finished 7th and in <a href="/facts/2010_Monaco_Grand_Prix/tMtssI9S">Monaco</a> he finished 8th. Sutil again finished in the points in <a href="/facts/2010_Turkish_Grand_Prix/TEoYvQyg">Turkey</a> with a 9th place. He followed this result with points scoring finishes in the next three rounds in <a href="/facts/2010_Canadian_Grand_Prix/I0oqcwTh">Canada</a>, <a href="/facts/2010_European_Grand_Prix/WtTIY83e">Europe</a> and <a href="/facts/2010_British_Grand_Prix/6g8jrWNz">Britain</a>.

2011

Sutil remained with Force India for <a href="/facts/2011_Formula_One_World_Championship/8SMbl99d">2011</a>, and was joined by <a href="/facts/2010_Deutsche_Tourenwagen_Masters_season/jecIr8kP">DTM</a> champion <a href="/facts/Paul_di_Resta/dBtgERSb">Paul di Resta</a>. In the first three races of the season, Sutil was out-qualified by di Resta. Sutil finished ninth in the <a href="/facts/2011_Australian_Grand_Prix/Ea2QS547">Australian Grand Prix</a>, at the expense of the <a href="/facts/Sauber/CYvYc6sp">Sauber</a> cars being disqualified from the race, having finished eleventh on the road. In <a href="/facts/2011_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/tQHfluMY">Malaysia</a>, Sutil finished eleventh, just behind di Resta, and in <a href="/facts/2011_Chinese_Grand_Prix/lqMjbyGo">China</a>, he qualified eleventh. In <a href="/facts/2011_Monaco_Grand_Prix/v2JredIJ">Monaco</a>, he had his best result of the season, finishing seventh. He retired in <a href="/facts/2011_Canadian_Grand_Prix/7rjHmmcy">Canada</a> after hitting a wall, which resulted in damage to his car's suspension. A ninth-place finish in <a href="/facts/2011_European_Grand_Prix/BnEGMSbq">Valencia</a> was followed by eleventh at the <a href="/facts/2011_British_Grand_Prix/Jqlu9D6s">British Grand Prix</a>, missing out on the final points-scoring position, held by <a href="/facts/Jaime_Alguersuari/SYdI1g9X">Jaime Alguersuari</a>, by just 0.6 seconds. At his <a href="/facts/2011_German_Grand_Prix/M0sm7akj">home race</a>, Sutil took a season best finish of sixth place, after implementing a different strategy to some of the drivers around him on the grid, making just two pit stops to the three made by his rivals.
Despite qualifying in the top ten in <a href="/facts/2011_Hungarian_Grand_Prix/TTEY4n7m">Hungary</a>, Sutil could only finish 14th, before another points-scoring finish – finishing seventh, after starting 15th on the grid after an accident in qualifying – at the <a href="/facts/2011_Belgian_Grand_Prix/TqnY24hJ">Belgian Grand Prix</a>. He retired at <a href="/facts/2011_Italian_Grand_Prix/tTNMMyr0">Monza</a> after his car suffered a hydraulics problem, before an eighth-place finish in <a href="/facts/2011_Singapore_Grand_Prix/sW8fNTJd">Singapore</a>, holding off a late-race challenge from <a href="/facts/Felipe_Massa/pKtdJkfp">Felipe Massa</a>. In <a href="/facts/2011_Japanese_Grand_Prix/E4Jo7mMg">Japan</a>, Sutil ran inside the top ten placings for much of the race, but finished the race just outside the points in eleventh place, having been passed by <a href="/facts/Vitaly_Petrov/2HS3hkA4">Vitaly Petrov</a> and <a href="/facts/Nico_Rosberg/yUSqYjMa">Nico Rosberg</a> in the closing stages of the race. Another eleventh place followed in <a href="/facts/2011_Korean_Grand_Prix/JV4zNImh">Korea</a>, before a ninth-place finish in the inaugural race in <a href="/facts/2011_Indian_Grand_Prix/h6ewuEkT">India</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> At the final race in <a href="/facts/2011_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/qzVdGng7">Brazil</a>, Sutil matched his best finish of the season with sixth place, and as a result, moved into ninth place in the final championship standings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a> As a result of his assault convictions (see above), Sutil was released at the end of the 2011 season and replaced with <a href="/facts/Nico_H%25C3%25BClkenberg/16FmwxwC">Nico Hülkenberg</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a>

2013

On 28 February 2013, Force India announced that Sutil would return to the team to complete their driver lineup alongside <a href="/facts/Paul_di_Resta/dBtgERSb">Paul di Resta</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> He finished seventh at the season-opening <a href="/facts/2013_Australian_Grand_Prix/8NFbG43s">Australian Grand Prix</a>, impressing on his comeback by leading for a number of laps throughout the race.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a>
In <a href="/facts/2013_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/cyjFf068">Malaysia</a>, he retired from the race following problems with a new captive <a href="/facts/Lug_nut/be9DY4qF">wheel nut</a> system that the team had introduced at the beginning of the season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>
He also retired from the <a href="/facts/2013_Chinese_Grand_Prix/9zLd9q55">Chinese Grand Prix</a>, after being hit by <a href="/facts/Esteban_Guti%25C3%25A9rrez/gmDLCUyJ">Esteban Gutiérrez</a>. After two non-points finishes he showed a respectable performance at the <a href="/facts/2013_Monaco_Grand_Prix/LCjpLcKd">Monaco Grand Prix</a> by overtaking the world champions <a href="/facts/Fernando_Alonso/9SapruYS">Fernando Alonso</a> and <a href="/facts/Jenson_Button/B7pxnoNa">Jenson Button</a> to finally end up in 5th position.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>

<h4>Sauber (2014)</h4>

It was announced on 13 December 2013 that Sutil would join Sauber for 2014.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> For the first six races of the 2014 season Sutil struggled with a car which lacked pace and he also made a number of mistakes which lost him possible points finishes. At the <a href="/facts/2014_Japanese_Grand_Prix/eWJukFcF">Japanese Grand Prix</a>, Sutil aquaplaned into turn seven on lap 42, stranding his car. Double yellow flags were waved at the corner while a recovery vehicle was dispatched to recover Sutil's car. The following lap, <a href="/facts/Jules_Bianchi/270dqBox">Jules Bianchi</a>, who had ignored the yellow flags, lost control of his <a href="/facts/Marussia_F1/C05cBRuy">Marussia</a> at a high speed, crashing into the recovery vehicle. Bianchi ultimately died on 17 July 2015, aged 25, due to complications from his <a href="/facts/Traumatic_brain_injury/DTq110vw">traumatic brain injury</a>. Sutil ended up with the most DNFs of the season.

On 30 July 2020, Sutil crashed his <a href="/facts/McLaren_Senna/8jtvMwGR">McLaren Senna LM</a> into an electricity pylon at the side of the road in Monaco after losing control of the car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a> Sutil's Senna – one of 35 Senna LM made – was heavily damaged; with its front bumper, front panels and bonnet detached from its chassis, with the windscreen shattered. Sutil emerged from the wreckage unscathed.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> Rather than being scrapped, Sutil's Senna LM was rebuilt. The process took over 2 years, with the rebuild process finishing in late December 2022.
