How many countries will allow Adrian Sutil to race?
#1
Posted 28 February 2013 - 07:22
Also, there are also many other countries that may be strict,Australia for instance?China? the middle east countries?
I dont believe Force India signed him without the knowledge of this restrictions so might they have some contigency plan(a third driver) to step in incase Adrian is frozen out?
p.s this is not a bash thread on the contrary i think Adrian given good machinery can give the likes of Webber and Massa a run for their money.looking forward to your thoughts.

Our own NFL football players are shooting for the record number of murders, illegal gambling, and crimes against women...Adrian's little glass incident is hardly noteworthy in comparison.

Okay and how about the countries that reserve admission at the point of entry?
That would be any country no matter what documents you carry unless you happen to be a citizen of the country in question, and some countries even use discretion with their own citizens, Iraq for example.

I have heard of people who only wanted to come on a visit for a week or two being refused entry because of lesser convictions than assault.
It would serve him right if he were refused entry at the airport. Serve Force India right too.

Todd Carney, an Australian rugby league player, was refused entry to the UK because of his convictions, and none of his were as bad as assault.

dudette whats the hate against Sutil and Force India? You frustrated they seemingly didnt take Bianchi?
Sutil paid for what he did... he took his sentence... and Lux even forgave him...
his action was a kneejerk reaction... and he didnt kill or rape anyone... just judging him for one mistake in his life is unfair
also like someone wrote before Sutil made sure that he could travel into all countries BEFORE trying for a new F1 seat

His crime really isn't a big deal, to refuse someone entry for that little incident if beyond stupid
Well, the US visa-immigration-homelandsecurity-unameit system is beyond stupid. The idea of having your passport/visa inspected by apes is bound to make everyone smile.
I think the same **** should be given to Americans travelling to civilised countries. Luckily that doesnt happen too often.
Sutil wont have any probs though.

I am also of the opinion that a single drunken mistake should not be punished forever and would love Adrian to compete in all races but I just dont see some immigration officers sharing that point of view.
Havent there also been numerous rappers and musicians frozen from performing in the UK and middle east because of criminal records?

yeah but Sutil is german aka he is a citizen of an EU country, oftentimes you do not even get checked travelling between countries, we had that between Austria and Germany where we weren't checked...
I think an US citizen travelling to the UK might have a bigger problem there than a German citizen since the european countries in several aspects like that... work much closer together than the US with any european country

Utter garbage. He's a fine person, a fine driver (holds a goddamn Superlicence, doesnt he?) who had a momentary lapse of sound judgement, and accepted punishment for it. Case closed.
And serve Force India right? For what exactly?

Would you mind explaining what an ESTA is?(too lazy to google)He just needs to sort things early enough. He just needs to do his ESTA early, so that he can still get a VISA if the travel authorisation should be denied. But ESTA for example looks for terrorist or criminal activity in the US, so given hios travel reason it will hardly be a problem. (If starting the process early enough)

The EU has free movement rights for its citizens; we pretty much have the right to live or work anywhere in the EU without having to apply to the right to stay.thanks for that,I never realised an EU passport has those benefits

It's beautful when you're travelling by road man, driving straight past all the "Welcome to...." signs. Many countries haven't even bothered to dismantle the buildings at the borders though, so you still see a load of people slowing almost to a stop thinking driving straight through can't possibly be allowed.

ESTA stands for Electronic System for Travel Authorization. It is a system which grants accesss to the US for International travelers who are seeking to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). A very simplified version of a VISA for citizens of selected European (incl. Germany) and Asian (incl. Australie and New Zealand) countries when travelling to the US for business or pleasure and plan to stay for less than 90 days.

Thats so cool,here in Africa you are greeted at the border by an AK-47 and immigration searches you and the vehicle for almost 4 hours,can get preety fustrating if you are in a hurry!It's beautful when you're travelling by road man, driving straight past all the "Welcome to...." signs.

Perhaps some of them have their doubts about Schengen so have left them there "just in case"?It's beautful when you're travelling by road man, driving straight past all the "Welcome to...." signs.

I do remember seeing border guards in Switzerland frantically waving everyone through, but I assume they were stationed there as border customs as there is of course no passport control. I've annoyingly been stopped by Polish customs in a van, blue-lights, sirens the lot, about 1 mile from entering Germany. A 'standard' random check of the car.
I hadn't actually realised Croatia actually does have passport control and as the guards were seemingly on a smoking break I got 20 feet into Croatia before heart-stoppingly realising my error. One hour later and one failed attempt by the guard keep nodding toward my jeans pockets to try and get me to attempt to bribe him so he could tick his arrest quota for the day (mate, I can see the "Bribing officials is illegal" poster behind you, I know what you're doing), I was finally allowed into Croatia with a stamped passport this time!!
Ah, the vagaries of Europe....

Switzerland is not part of the EU and of course you are checked at the borders at some areas... but not everywhere... and not all the time

True, but I think Bernie would save his strings for guys like Vettel and Alonso (not that I think they'll ever need it) than Sutil.
I agree with who said Force India must have done some reasearch on this already.

How did he pay for what he did? I understood he got a suspended sentence. That's hardly paying for a very serious assault that could have killed someone.

If you think thats serious assault then you really need to get out more.How did he pay for what he did? I understood he got a suspended sentence. That's hardly paying for a very serious assault that could have killed someone.

Okay and how about the countries that reserve admission at the point of entry?eg Abu dhabi and Australia I think can refuse your entry at the airport as they deem fit..
Australia can bar entry if you are:
sentenced to either death or life imprisonment (how would you be flying then? )
sentenced to a term of imprisonment for 12 months or more
sentenced to two or more terms of imprisonment (whether on one or more occasions), where the total of those terms is two years or more
acquitted of an offence on the grounds of either unsoundness of mind or insanity and, as a result, the person has been detained in a facility or institution.
