Sauber F1 driver Adrian Sutil stopped off in Dubai on Wednesday on his way to this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix and got a chance to visit the latest projects from property developers Pacific Ventures.

The Dubai-based company is a Premium partner of the Sauber F1 team for this season and chairman Parvez Khan showed Sutil the ongoing development, the Burj Pacific in Downtown Dubai.

He said: “We’re delighted to havebeen able to take Adrian Sutil to our project site, one he was happy to see as it is in the heart this majestic city. We intend to take the team on a little tour of all our ongoing projects the next time they are all here.”

Sutil, who moved to Sauber from Force India, said: “This was a completely new experience for me as Dubai, for me, has always been a destination to relax and unwind before a race.

“This was my first time to go to a project site and I’m happy I got to see this through our sponsor Pacific Ventures.”
