Force India boss Vijay Mallya says that the team is supporting Adrian Sutil in the light of the nightclub incident involving Eric Lux in China.
Mallya made the point that no legal proceedings have been brought against the German, despite threats from Lux.
“As far as my position is concerned, there has been a press release issued which describes an incident,” said Mallya. “We have not heard of any formal complaint being registered in any country for any sort of misconduct by Adrian. So it would be highly inappropriate for us to presume that he did something. It would be equally presumptuous that he would guilty of wrong-doing and take action against him.
“So my position is very clear: if at all we receive a formal complaint or there is some form of formal legal enquiry in any country, we’ll take appropriate action at that time but we can’t be presumptive.”
Pressed on the contractual situation, Mallya said: “You know, contracts do not supercede misconduct, so unless I’m convinced that there is misconduct, the contract shall prevail. And I’m not willing to jump to any conclusions, based on a press release that has been given out by a potentially or supposedly aggrieved party.
“I don’t know what happened there, none of my people know what happened at that particular incident so there’s a due process of law. So if Adrian is to be charged with misconduct, let him be charged. If and when he’s charged, I will assess the situation.”
