Mallya laments saddest career moment

Mallya laments saddest career moment

26 May 2008

Force India owner Vijay Mallya said that Adrian Sutil's retirement from the Monaco Grand Prix was the saddest moment of his motor sport career. Sutil was running in fourth until Raikkonen lost control and rear-ended him in the chicane.

"It was the saddest moment of my Motor Sports career," Mallya said. "To achieve a top five position in Formula One and that too in Monaco was a dream that ended just seven minutes and less than five laps from the chequered flag with Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari running into the rear of Sutil's car."

"Adrian Sutil drove a brilliant race, exhibited superlative car control in wet and slippery conditions and proved conclusively to the World that he is an exceptionally talented driver," he added. "All members of the Force India Formula One team came together and executed a brilliant race strategy and car set up. We have demonstrated that we are a much improved and competitive team now and we certainly had an opportunity to score championship points today."
