I was in tears as well: Mallya

NEW DELHI: If Adrian Sutil was inconsolable after Kimi Raikkonen ruined his fairytale Monaco Grand Prix, team owner Vijay Mallya admitted that he had tears in his eyes after the race.

Sutil was seven minutes and three laps away from a stunning fourth place finish when Raikkonen’s Ferrari barged into his VJM01 to wreck his race.

While Sutil was in tears in the pit, Mallya said his eyes were moist as well.

“We were obviously shattered. We were so looking forward to a spectacular result, which was not to be,” Mallya said.

Asked if the setback left him in tears, Sutil said, “I was, and so were many of us. I’ve had quite a lot of SMS messages and phone calls from supporters in India, all of whom are, I think, highly emotional. It was sad for us, that moment was a very emotional moment,” he said. — PTI
