Raikkonen apologises to Sutil
World Champion Kimi Raikkonen has apologised to Force India driver Adrian Sutil. The German was in 4th position before Raikkonen lost control of his car and hit the VJM-01 from behind, forcing Sutil to retire the race.
Kimi Raikkonen said: "Basically I just think my brakes were a bit too cold and I locked the rear. I nearly lost the car but unfortunately I hit him and it is sad for them because they are not very often in the position to finish in the points.
"So, I feel a bit sorry for him, but I could not do anything. I tried to slow down but there was nowhere to go and nowhere to slow down and I lost fifth place.
"I said I am sorry for him and his team because probably they are not going to be often in the position to score a fourth position. Plus it was in Monaco. So it was harder for him than for me, but it was a racing incident and I could not go anywhere. There wasn't much space and I could not slow down."
