Lewis Hamilton looks set to be recalled as a witness as the Adrian Sutil assault saga rolls on.<\/p>\n
German Sutil, and his father Jorge, described former close friend and 2008 world champion Hamilton as a “coward” and “pathetic” after the McLaren driver did not appear at the recent hearings in Munich.<\/p>\n
But with the former Force India driver – and Munich prosecutors – now filing appeals against the judge’s verdict, Hamilton’s personal testimony might be regarded as crucial.<\/p>\n
Hamilton is clearly visible in the video footage of the incident with Eric Lux in a Shanghai nightclub last April, but Sutil’s manager Manfred Zimmermann claims the judge neglected the gravity of the security camera evidence.<\/p>\n
“Not asking one of the witnesses to court and other important circumstances have not been considered as well,” Zimmermann charged.<\/p>\n
London newspaper the Daily Telegraph claims Hamilton “is happy to testify provided the date does not clash with prior commitments”.<\/p>\n
