Force India F1 driver Adrian Sutil is facing a €10-million (about R100-million) damages claim by Genii chief executive Eric Lux, according to a media report.
It emerged last week that, after news that the Force India driver allegedly assaulted Lux with a broken Champagne glass in a Shanghai night club after the Chinese GP, Sutil could be headed for court.
Italiaracing said Lux needed 24 stitches in his neck.
The French website sport24.com also said Lux would file a complaint about the German with the governing FIA, with his lawyers to announce the action perhaps as soon as today (May 16).
The report said Sutil's F1 superlicence could be at risk in the event of a civil conviction, although German newspaper Bild said neither the FIA nor Bernie Ecclestone was investigating the matter.
