Force India co-owner ‘close to tears’ after Sutil crash in Monaco

Force India’s billionaire co-owner Vijay Mallya has conceded to being “shattered” and “close to tears” after seeing his dreams of Monaco glory cruelly wrecked last weekend.

Adrian Sutil was on course to score the team’s first points when running fourth with only 10 minutes of the two-hour race to run around the streets of Monte Carlo on Sunday.

But the young German was rear-ended by reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen, who lost control of his Ferrari on a damp part of the circuit emerging out of the tunnel. 

Sutil was later seen in floods of tears inside the team garage, and although Raikkonen apologised, the shunt has potentially cost Force India around £5million in points bonuses.

“I was close to tears too - so were many of us actually because we were obviously shattered,” said Mallya.
