Formula one: Sutil handed suspended sentence
Sutil had denied it was his intention to hurt Lux but rather to throw a drink in his face.
Former Force India driver Adrian Sutil was found guilty of grievous bodily harm by a Munich court and given an 18-month suspended sentence along with a $262,300 fine for a night club brawl in China last year.
The 29-year-old German, who has failed to secure a seat for the new season so far, was found guilty of injuring Eric Lux, chief executive of Renault F1 team owners Genii Capital, in a Shanghai nightclub after the Chinese Grand Prix. Lux needed several stitches for a neck wound after Sutil injured him with a champagne glass.
Sutil had denied it was his intention to hurt Lux but rather to throw a drink in his face.
