The gossip that isn't going away.

So after I wrote about this on Wednesday.

I thought I should do a quick update on what has occurred since then.
Now I said I didn't want this story to die. Mainly because of how serious the claims were and mainly because there was still a lot of unanswered questions.

Like.
What actually happened?
What was said that caused the "Unintentional" accident?
What injuries did Eric Lux suffer?
And finally what's going to happen with this story?

So the details on this story still aren't clear but from what we roughly know.
We know that Eric Lux was injured by a champagne glass. Causing him to need stitches in his neck.
We still don't know what provoked this attack from Sutil.

But we do know that Eric Lux has filed charges for assault against Adrian Sutil. Not in China but in France. (That's complicated in itself)
The full story is here on this French website.

So since the story broke out today of criminal proceedings. Twitter and F1 website have gone mad.

I told you in the earlier post I wouldn't let the story drop. Yet it's taken nearly a week for the story to really hit big.
Seems like violence ain't a big story in the F1 world, so long has you drive well around a track.

But now it is finally out there. Thankfully.
One vital question remains.
What is going to happen to Adrian Sutil and his career?

Sadly no one knows the answer.
Mainly because we (F1 fans) don't have all the facts.
Because as much has we can be the jury. Only the court can give the verdict.

Until then Sutil's career is pretty much limbo.
Along with his reputation.

All I know is that this story needs a resolution and soon.
For the victims, the accused, the teams and the fans alike.
