Adrian Sutil yesterday made a determined effort to focus on his Formula One career amidst the maelstrom currently swirling around the Force India driver.
Sutil was reported to have been involved in an incident with Eric Lux, the chief executive of Genii Capital who own the Renault GP Formula One team, after the Chinese Grand Prix on April 17.
Lux confirmed on Monday, through his Geneva-based lawyer Dr Marc Henzelin, that he has decided to file a criminal complaint against Sutil for physical assault and grievous bodily harm.
Sutil's manager, Manfred Zimmermann, has since insisted the German driver will "use every available means to clarify his position and clear his name".
Ahead of this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix, Sutil said: "To be honest, it's one part of my life. But I'm concentrating on my racing. I'm here in Barcelona and I want to focus on my race this weekend, and for the next one in Monaco.
"That's all that counts, and that's all I can answer at the moment."
Sutil dismissed the suggestion the media spotlight could affect his focus, saying: "There are always difficult situations, but I have to live with it."
