Adrian Sutil: “My only plan is F1”

Adrian Sutil's start to the season has been relatively impressive. For his return to the discipline after a year of absence, the German did not have to be ashamed of his performances compared to those of his teammate Paul di Resta. But the Force India F1 Team has slowed down somewhat. “Everyone, drivers and team members alike, let's work hard to achieve results, underlines Sutil on the official Formula 1 website. We had a very good start to the season, but for the last few races, it's been tighter in the middle of the grid. But the second part of the season presents circuits on which we should be strong again. »

The German takes his work very seriously, and does not procrastinate. He knows that he has succeeded in his return for the moment. But where will he be in 2014? If rumors are rife about transfers, he doesn't want to think about it. “There are so many rumors, He continues. But my opinion is that no one really knows what's going on behind the scenes. Formula 1 is a complicated sport, and there are many aspects to consider before making decisions. And sometimes these decisions are surprising. If I do my job well and they (the leaders of Force India. Editor’s note) are happy, there will be the possibility of staying. Sahara Force India will be the first team we will approach for 2014.”

If he admits to dreaming of Ferrari as well as Mercedes, “mythical brands with a long history in Formula 1”, Sutil above all assures that he does not see his future anywhere other than in the premier discipline. “My one and only goal is to have a long and prolific career in Formula 1.” And for that, the native of Starnberg will first have to have a good end to the season. “It's nice and comfortable to continually be in the points. So we want to go back. I am convinced that we will be strong in Spa. I really like this circuit. It's a real challenge, a racers' circuit. Watch us…” And all the more so since it is a track where Indian single-seaters are often at ease, as evidenced by the fourth place in Nico Hulkenberg last year or even Giancarlo Fisichella's second in 2009. For his last appearance on the Belgian Ardennes slide, in 2011, Sutil took the checkered flag in seventh position.
