The Ex-Adrian Sutil
2010 Force India-Mercedes Formula 1 racing single-seater

The Monaco Sale 'Les Grandes Marques à Monaco'|10 May 2024, 15:00 CEST|Monaco, Villa La Vigie

2010 Force India-Mercedes Formula 1 racing single-seater
Chassis no. VJM3-0

Offered in show-car condition less engine

* No fewer than nine Formula 1 World Championship points-scoring finishes with driver Adrian Sutil
• Fifth-place finishes in both the 2010 Malaysian and Belgian GPs
• Eighth-place points-scoring finish at Monaco 2010
• 7,601 kms Formula 1 Grand Prix race use plus 4,744kms practice and testing
• Successful Mark Smith and James Kay technical design plus striking livery

Here BONHAMS offers this beautifully presented, much-raced, modern-era Formula 1 car preserved in non-running 'show car' display condition – without engine but significantly still including its gearbox.
It is beautifully presented in that role, wearing the Force India team livery as used for promotional purposes in the 2012 season – but we must emphasise that during its active racing life, driven throughout the entire 2010 Formula 1 World Championship season by the talented German Adrian Sutil, the combination of his driving and the overall reliability and pace of 'VJM03-03' now offered here achieved no fewer than nine points-scoring finishes (within the top ten placings).
What's more, a startling six of those fine results were scored in consecutive races, from the year's Round 5 Spanish Grand Prix through to the team's home event, the Round 10 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Sutil's team-mate was Italian driver Vitantonio Liuzzi, whose personal performances during the year were highlighted by a rare sixth place in the Korean GP at Yeongam. The Force India-Mercedes VJM03 cars of that year were a considerable force for much larger, more lavishly funded teams such as Renault to contend with...
Meanwhile, Adrian Sutil's finest two finishes achieved in this, his full-season chassis, were a stunning fourth in the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang and sixth in the European Grand Prix at Valencia. Co-owned in period by Indian entrepreneur-cum-passionate car enthusiast Dr Vijay Mallya, in partnership with Michiel (sic) Moi, the compact organisation's technical design team was head by Mark Smith and Andy Green.

This most attractive car's individual racing record during Force India's 2010 Formula 1 World Championship campaign is recorded within the now Aston Martin-branded team's internal factory archives as follows:

Bahrain GP, Sakhir – Adrian Sutil – q. 10th – 12th
Australian GP, Melbourne – Adrian Sutil – q. 10th - Rtd
Malaysian GP, Sepang – Adrian Sutil – q. FIFTH (Points scoring)

NB - Reserve driver Paul Di Resta drove 'VJM03-03' in first practice testing before the Australian, Spanish, European and Italian GPs - and also in post-season testing 19/20-11-2010 at Abu Dhabi.

As can be clearly seen from the above racing record – which is also as presented correctly within the authoritative 'Autocourse' 2010-11 racing annual – what we offer here is a Formula 1 car whose constructor team punched way above its supposed weight at World Championship level, taking seventh place in the 2010 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship just a single point behind Williams and 14 ahead of BMW Sauber. Adrian Sutil himself amassed the highly respectable total of 47 Drivers' World Championship points – tying with Rubens Barrichello of Williams - which earned him eleventh place overall in the 2010-season's final title table.

Factory records further confirm that this individual chassis 'VJM03-03' was used by the team's Scottish spare driver, Paul Di Resta, in the FP1 first practice sessions in Melbourne, Barcelona, Valencia and Monza and also by second driver Vitantonio Lizzi in the Abu Dhabi test session. The car in race use totalled no fewer than 7,601kms to which should be added its 4,744kms in practice and testing. Its total distance covered during its frontline career is no less than 12,345kms - just over 7,672 miles...

During his frontline Formula 1 career Adrian Sutil was (uniquely) a German-Uruguyan driver. He had made his motorised competition debut aged 14 in karting. After winning a Swiss Formula Ford title and shining in a parallel Austrian series, he stepped up to Formula 3, won the All-Japan Championship in 2006 and became test driver for Midland F1 in 2006. He competed in seven seasons at World Championship level, 2007-2011, then after a bye season in 2012 reappeared within this pinnacle road racing category from 2013-2014. In addition to his Force India career he had previously driven for Spyker F1, and later re-emerged with Sauber before eventually serving as reserve drive for Williams Martini Racing.

The Force India VJM03 Formula 1 car design, as offered here, incorporated the contemporary Mercedes FO108X 2.4-litre V8 engine, mated to a McLaren Racing 7-speed semi-automatic 'e-shift' gearbox and final-drive. The latter assembly was quite lengthy which enabled aerodynamicist Simon Phillips's team to maximise the diffuser inlet in a similar manner to McLaren, using a long, narrow form to accelerate the volume of under-body airflow so critical to a modern Formula 1 car's cornering performance. A two-piece nose wing was favoured and the car proved notably fast on the straights. Detail changes were frequent during the year with constant evolution of the nose wing and underfloor, and particularly effective detail modifications to the wing endplates and front brake ducts. A total of seven different floor designs were used through the season. The Silverstone-based team was immensely dedicated hard-working and industrious, and it is telling that even into 2011 its workforce totalled only some 280 employees – tiny by modern Formula 1 standards.

Overall, Force India made respectable progress through that 2010 World Championship series against far better-funded opposition. Late in the season Renault opened a performance gap from these VJM03-series cars and Williams also provided more fierce opposition as the year approached its end.

This sleekly-bodied race-used Formula 1 projectile is offered here – as described above – in later 2012 team livery, in wonderfully well-preserved show car condition, and is without engine but – we are advised – still including its gearbox. The car's intrinsic race history – and in particular its nine important points-scoring Grand Prix finishes – make it certainly one of the best-history 'show cars' BONHAMS has ever been privileged to offer.

Please note that if this vehicle is sold to a French private buyer or an EU private individual it will be subject to Import Duty at 10% (+VAT) and 20% Import VAT on the hammer price.

Ex-Adrian Sutil
Mercedes VJM03 Force India 2010
Monoplace de Formule 1
Châssis n° VJM03-03
Vendue comme modèle d'exposition, sans moteur

• A terminé pas moins de neuf fois dans le top 10 au Championnat du monde de Formule 1 avec le pilote Adrian Sutil
• Cinquième place aux GP de Malaisie et de Belgique en 2010
• Huitième place au classement à Monaco en 2010
• Utilisée durant 7 601 km de course de Grand Prix de Formule 1 et 4 744 km d'essais
• Conception technique de Mark Smith et James Kay couronnée de succès et remarquable livrée

BONHAMS propose ici cette magnifique Formule 1 moderne à la longue carrière, préservée non roulante pour l'exposition – sans moteur, mais avec sa boîte de vitesse.
Elle est dans un bel état de présentation, dans sa livrée de l'écurie Force India, telle qu'elle fut utilisée dans un but promotionnel tout au long de la saison 2012 – mais il faut souligner que durant sa vie active en compétition, au cours du championnat du monde de Formule 1 de 2010, pilotée par Adrian Sutil, dont le talent, associé à la fiabilité et aux performances de VJM03-03 proposée ici, lui ont permis d'accumuler pas moins de neuf points (dans les dix premières places).
En outre, six de ces résultats ont été acquis consécutivement, à partir de la cinquième course au Grand Prix d'Espagne, à la 10e épreuve courue à domicile, au Grand Prix d'Angleterre à Silverstone. Le coéquipier de Sutil était le pilote italien Vitantonio Liuzzi, dont les résultats personnels au cours de la saison comprennent une rare sixième place au Grand Prix de Corée à Yeongam. Les voitures de la série VJM03 de cette année-là étaient de redoutables concurrentes pour les grandes écuries bien mieux dotées, comme Renault...
Quoiqu'il en soit, les deux meilleurs résultats d'Adrian Sutil au volant de celle qui fut sa monture durant toute l'année, furent une quatrième place au Grand Prix de Malaisie à Sepang et une sixième place au Grand Prix d'Europe à Valence. À l'époque, la voiture était la propriété commune de l'homme d'affaire indien et passionné de sport automobile, le Dr Vijay Mallya, et de Michiel (sic) Moi, Mark Smith et Andy Green dirigeant l'équipe technique de l'organisation.

Les détails de la carrière de cette très séduisante voiture de course au cours du championnat du monde de Formula 1 2010 avec Force India sont aujourd'hui conservés dans les archives de l'usine, désormais sous la bannière d'Aston Martin :

Grand Prix de Bahreïn, Sakhir – Adrian Sutil – q. 10e – 12 e

Grand Prix d'Abou Dabi, Yas Marina – Adrian Sutil – q. 13e – 13e
*Après pénalité et rétrogradation sur la grille
NB – le pilote remplaçant Paul Di Resta a piloté VJM03-03 pour les premiers essais avant les Grand Prix d'Australie, d'Espagne, d'Europe et d'Italie – et également aux essais d'après-saison à Abou Dabi les 19 et 20-11-2010.

Comme on peut le voir dans le récapitulatif ci-dessus, – qui figure également tel quel dans la revue annuelle de référence Autocourse de 2010-11– ce que nous proposons ici est une voiture de Formule 1 que l'écurie du constructeur a hissée au niveau du championnat du monde, bien au-delà de ses supposées capacités, prenant la septième place du championnat du monde constructeurs 2010 de Formule 1, un point derrière Williams et 14 points devant BMW Sauber. Adrian Sutil lui-même a totalisé le très honorable score de 47 points au championnat du monde des conducteurs – ex-aequo avec Rubens Barrichello chez Williams – ce qui lui valut la onzième place au classement général de la saison 2010.

Le registre d'usine confirme également que VJM03-03 a été pilotée par le pilote remplaçant, l'Écossais Paul Di Resta, aux premiers essais à Melbourne, Barcelone, Valence et Monza et aussi par le second pilote Vitantonio Liuzzi aux essais d'Abou Dabi. La voiture a totalisé pas moins de 7 601 km en course auxquels il convient d'ajouter ses 4 744 km en essai. La distance totale parcourue au cours de cette carrière de premier plan s'élève à 12 345 km...

Au cours de sa brillante carrière en Formule 1, Adrian Sutil était le seul pilote allemand-uruguayen. Il a fait ses débuts en compétition en karting à l'âge de 14 ans. Après avoir remporté le titre en Formule Ford en Suisse et brillé parallèlement dans les épreuves autrichiennes, il passa en Formule 3, remporta le championnat All-Japan en 2006 et devint pilote d'essai pour Midland F1 en 2006. Il participa à sept saisons en championnat du monde, de 2007 à 2011, puis après une année sabbatique en 2012, revint dans cette discipline prestigieuse pour 2013-2014. De plus, avant son entrée chez Force India il avait piloté pour Spyker F1, puis était réapparu chez Sauber, avant de devenir pilote de réserve pour Williams Martini Racing.

La voiture de Formula 1 de Force India VJM03, proposée ici, était équipée du V8 Mercedes FO108X 2,4 litres contemporain, associé à une boîte McLaren Racing semi-automatique « e-shift » à 7 rapports. Cet ensemble permit à l'aérodynamicien de l'écurie, Simon Phillips, d'optimiser le flux d'air du diffuseur à la manière des McLaren, en faisant appel à une forme longue et étroite afin d'accélérer le volume d'air sous la carrosserie, si essentiel sur les Formule 1 modernes pour leur assurer une meilleure adhérence en courbe. Un double aileron avant fut privilégiée et la voiture s'avéra très rapide en ligne droite. De nombreuse améliorations mineures furent apportées au cours de l'année avec des évolutions constantes des ailerons avant et du soubassement, et plus particulièrement des modifications de détail très efficaces aux extrémités des ailerons et aux conduits d'air des freins avant. Un total de sept planchers différents furent utilisés pendant la saison. L'écurie basée à Silverstone était particulièrement motivée et travailleuse et, même en plein cœur de la saison 2011, ses effectifs ne comptaient que 280 employés – ce qui est bien peu par rapport aux standards de la Formula 1 moderne.

Dans l'ensemble, Force India fit de considérables progrès pendant ce championnat du monde 2010 contre des écuries bien mieux dotées. En fin de saison, Renault afficha un net écart de performance par rapport aux voitures des séries VJM03 et Williams se montra de plus en plus redoutable au fur et à mesure que la fin de l'année approchait.

Ce bolide fuselé de Formule 1 est vendu – tel que décrit ci-dessus – dans sa configuration de 2012, dans un magnifique état de préservation pour l'exposition et sans moteur, mais – nous signale-t-on – avec sa boîte de vitesses. Le riche historique en compétition de la voiture – et en particulier ses neufs points en Grand Prix – en font certainement l'une des « voitures d'exposition » les plus titrées que BONHAMS ait jamais eu le privilège de proposer à la vente.
