Adrian Sutil remains a mystery to me. Came into F1 in 2007 and by the end of that season and certainly by early 2008 was being talked about as an up and coming talent yet here we are in 2011 and he's still in exactly the same place as he started.
He's faired well against his teammates - crushed Albers - pretty much kept pace with Fizzi and last year put Liuzzi in his place. He seems to have a legion of fans who rate him highly - at one point he was everyone fave second driver. There are always rumours connecting him with drives higher up the grid and he's always talked about as an under-rated talent. Yet the big move never comes and Adrian still sits at Force India picking up tail end points and making noises about leaving.
With recent illeged events its safe to say Sutil isn't going to be considered for a drive at Renault or any Renault powered team in the near future and is facing having an even higher rated team-mate compeating with him does this mean his time has past? Can anyone see an oppotunity for him to hit the front. Mclaren very nearly bought him in for the 2008 season instead of Kovi because of his relationship with Lewis - would he have been a success there? would he have had a better showing than Kovi?
It always makes me wonder when there is a driver who is rated so highly by his fans and the media that never seems to get the big move whether people in the know in the paddock see something we don't. Any thoughts on Mr Sutil?
