German Formula One driver Adrian Sutil apologised to a Luxembourg businessman at the start of his assault trial on Monday for wounding him with a champagne glass but said he had not meant to hurt him.
"I am terribly sorry, I did not want that to happen," the 29-year-old Force India pilot told the district court in Munich, about the incident last April in a Shanghai nightclub after the Chinese Grand Prix.
Sutil is charged with grievous bodily harm for injuring Lotus Renault shareholder Eric Lux.
