Sutil wants Trulli crash in past, or to draw Mickey Mouse

I bet he does! And Kimi. And another Kimi. Oh, and that whole run-in with Nick.

But I digress.

Autosport is reporting that Adrian Sutil very much wants to put the Brazil crash to rest, although Jarno Trulli is still toting around “photographic evidence” of the come-together.

Hey, at least there’s something lively going on with the drivers!

Here it is in a nutshell:

When asked by AUTOSPORT if he felt the matter between himself and Trulli was now finished, Sutil said: “Hopefully it is. He will walk around with his pictures for a few weeks more and tell everybody but… [shrugs shoulders]

“Maybe I will draw a picture for him with a Mickey Mouse, or Donald Duck or a Goofy or whatever. It’s done. I cannot listen to it any more.

“The last race was just really hard driving in a lot of cases, which is why we have to talk about it. It is always the same at the end of the season, everyone drives harder and harder, but as I said there will always be discussions about incidents as we are both racing, and we both want to win. But only one can win. That is the problem.”

Trulli said after the meeting that he hoped the drivers could get together again before the race on Sunday to discuss the clash further – as he felt it was too important to be ignored.

“I didn’t come here [to Abu Dhabi] to bring up anything. I didn’t start the discussion at yesterday’s press conference,” he said.

“He said he was hit on the back, so I said comment on this picture because I am next to you way before I was on the kerb. All I want is that we understand what happened there.”

Trulli confirmed he spoke to F1 race director Charlie Whiting about the incident, but refused to expand on what response he got.

“I did talk to Charlie and I showed him the evidence, but I’m not going to tell you what happened,” he said. “It’s a safety issue, and not just that accident, but a general trend over the last few races where some moves have been a little too much on the limit.

“We are going to set up a meeting with all the drivers because today was a very long drivers’ briefing and GPDA briefing.

“We should try and meet up on Sunday in order to discuss the behaviour, but if we can’t agree between us, I know who I can trust and cannot trust. It doesn’t change anything for me.”

Will this all be moot if Trulli doesn’t get a drive next season?
