Force India driver Adrian Sutil was involved in a bar fight after the recent Chinese Grand Prix.
The F1 broadcasters RAI (Italy) and TF1 (France) reported that he got into a fracas in Shanghai and a website, 422race.com, has added details, including that Renault owner Genii's Eric Lux was left bloodied after the scrape in the M1NT nightclub.
Scars on Gerard Lopez' right-hand man Lux's neck were spotted in the Istanbul paddock and a team spokesman confirmed: "There was an incident on Sunday after the Chinese GP involving Eric Lux."
Lotus Renault GP was, however, not able to comment, saying it was "a private matter between Eric and the other person".
'UNFORTUNATE ACTION'
Witnesses at the club reportedly saw Lux rushing from a VIP room with blood streaming down his neck. Sutil's friend Lewis Hamilton was rushed out of the same room by his bodyguards moments later.
Sutil said later: "It was a very unfortunate action by me, where I had injured another person completely by accident. I regret the incident and apologised accordingly."
422race.com. reported: "Sutil apparently had to run out of China to avoid legal problems on the matter."
The FIA said it was not investigating the matter and a Force India spokesman added: "It's a private matter between the parties involved and we don't have any information on that, so we don't want to make any comment."
