Q: To me, this guy is out of his depth as a Formula One driver. Where did all this hype come from pre-season and why oh why was he even considered for a McLaren seat by the press?? He clearly can't handle the car without TC, and is being shown up by Fisi. Do you think he deserves a place in F1? btw Andy... F1 cars do not reach 280 mph... and I'm comparing Sutil to other racing drivers... drivers who are proving themselves much more adept at driving an F1 car than him... btw Andy... F1 cars do not reach 280 mph... and I'm comparing Sutil to other racing drivers... drivers who are proving themselves much more adept at driving an F1 car than him... What I'm really implying is that there are some talented drivers around... including the Force India test driver Liuzzi, who I believe could handle the car much better than Sutil Some names to come to mind include... Di Grassi Liuzzi Premat Jani Bruno Senna I'm not anti-Sutil... I am saying that I do not think he can cut it without TC atm... And I don't understand all the hype around him pre-season, with no proof to back it up..
A: I think he isn't impressive. He's like one of those back-grid drivers that isn't noticeable or special enough to be singled out. However, when Christijan Albers was his teammate, he actually outdid him several times and that didn't look too good for Albers because he was more experienced than Sutil. Sutil may seem pointless in the sport right now, but give him time. Some drivers take time to shine.
