Yeongam (South Korea): Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta had a bad day in office as Sahara Force India returned pointless from the incident-filled Korean Grand Prix here today.
While Di Resta dropped out after a carsh on the 25th lap, his teammate Sutil had stopped in the pits on the 50th lap. Not much was expected from the Silverstone-based oufit in the race after Sutil and Di Resta started at 14th and 15th positions on the grid after poor performance in yesterday’s qualifying session.
Sutil had to retire in the 25th lap following an accident with McLaren’s Sergio Perez, who under investigation for forcing the Briton off track.
Sutil, on the other hand, spun at Turn 3 and hit Mark Webber’s Red Bull which caught fire, forcing the safety car to be deployed for the second time on lap 38. Sutil, however, continued to race for 12 more laps before deciding to retire in the 50th lap. Force India’s disappointing show at the Korean GP has increased it’s gap with McLaren to 19 points in the championship table. (PTI)
