An amusing spat between Sutil and Trulli

The last time Jarno Trulli saw Adrian Sutil before today was when he was screaming at him over their first lap collision in Brazil. Trulli felt that the fault was entirely Sutil's and today in the press conference at Yas Marina Circuit, the war of words spilled out again - that may well have been the reason why they were placed next to each other...

There were quite a few incidents between drivers in Brazil and it looks like it will be a lively drivers' briefing on Friday. Several drivers have indicated that they want to discuss the Kobayashi/Nakajima

collision and the whole issue of slamming the door to close off an overtaking move.

Here's a flavour of the Trulli/Sutil exchange:

Jarno Trulli: "I think I had every reason to be extremely furious. I’ve got all the evidence to show that I was there, I was next to him, so I think tomorrow we are going to discuss it.

Sutil: "I think there’s nothing to discuss. It was a quite obvious incident. In the end it was very disappointing for myself, even more, I think, because I was the one who was just driving and he lost control of his car and crashed in my back, so it was not my problem, it was his problem. I don’t know why he’s freaking out like that, to be honest. "

JT: (Laughing)" If you want, I can show you some pictures. I don’t know if you’re blind but they clearly show you that my front wing is next to your front wing, so…"

AS: "Yeah, but you’re trying to overtake me on the outside on the kerbing. There was not a problem…"

JT: "So you mean… you didn’t move there…"

AS: "No, you were just not going off the power. The same happened in Barcelona where you lost control again and crashed again into a Force India car. You just have to sometimes also…"

JT: "I just lost…"

AS: "...expect the limits of the car. If there’s no way to go, you have to back off, that’s how racing is, and I don’t know how long you want to learn it. "

JT: "In Barcelona I spun and he hit me because he tapped the kerb, he completely cut the circuit and he didn’t slow down, so basically… Anyway, I think it’s better… "

AS: "No, no. Watch the race in Barcelona. I didn’t hit you, you hit me. I don’t know what’s the problem, but maybe your eyes are a problem."

JT: "I don’t have any feeling about him. "

AS: "I don’t understand, really, sorry."

Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen were sitting on the front row during this exchange and at one point Alonso said, "Shall we go?" But he couldn't stop laughing as the two drivers went on and on at each other like a pair of schoolboys, both wanting to have the last word.
