Zoom A potentially great day turned sour for Sutil

Adrian Sutil's misery continued even after he shed tears in the pits following his exit from the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.

The young German was hailed by many as the hero of the famous street race, as he carried his usually uncompetitive Force India to fourth place in the closing stages.

He was, however, taken out by world champion and former championship leader Kimi Raikkonen, moving many paddock observers to surmise that his and technical boss Mike Gascoyne's post-race visit to the stewards' office was to complain about the Ferrari star's driving under braking for the harbour chicane.

"We have asked the stewards immediately to look at it," Gascoyne confirmed to the British broadcaster ITV.

Raikkonen apologised to Sutil in Ferrari's post-race document, but it was actually Sutil who was in trouble with the stewards.

The FIA representatives officially warned the Force India driver for overtaking three drivers under yellow flags on lap 13.

"The stewards warn the driver of car 20 as to his future behaviour," part of the stewards' statement issued at Monte Carlo read.
