    Sutil gets into fist-fight with Renault official

    Adrian Sutil was involved in a bar fight after the recent Chinese grand prix, it emerged on Wednesday.

    The F1 broadcasters RAI (Italy) and TF1 (France) had alraedy reported that the Force India driver got into a fight in Shanghai.

    The Italian website 422race.com has now reported details, including the fact that Renault owner Genii's Eric Lux was left bloodied after the scrape in the M1NT nightclub.

    Scars on Gerard Lopez right hand man Lux's neck were spotted in the Istanbul paddock and a team spokesman confirmed: "I can confirm that there has been an incident on Sunday after the Chinese GP involving Eric Lux.
    ***
    Eyewitnesses at the club reportedly saw Lux rushing from a VIP room with blood streaming down his neck. Sutil's friend Lewis Hamilton was rushed out of the same room by his bodyguards moments later.

    Saw this on the Planet F1 forums.

    As another poster said, could this be like the end of Bertrand Gachot's career?

    I'm just really curious to see what Hamilton's involvement was with it. Apparently, there is discrepancies between whats on the CCTV and Hamiltons account!

    Not a good time in his career to pull a Gachot.

    I'm sure the radio transcript will work out in Lewis' favour...

    Brilliant! Good to see a modern F1 driver getting into a bar brawl. I thought that had vanished long ago with the advent of the modern "robot" f1 drivers.

    Cue the next round of new teams:

    Hells Angels F1
    Mongols F1
    Pagans F1
    Bandidos F1

    etc..... :P

    Looks like this is getting dragged up again! Link to Autosport article.

    Anybody want to have a guess at what happened? You don't just injure someone by accident in a nightclub.

    He threw a champagne glass at him, hit him in the neck and he had to get a few stiches. Or so the story goes.

    This Lux guy sounds like an idiot and probably deserved it.
