Paul di Resta on becoming an F1 racer
Paul di Resta will make his grand prix debut in Bahrain in March after Force India announced him as one of its race drivers this week. Glenn Freeman, who has reported on the Scot throughout his DTM years, talked to di Resta about his big chance
Force India ended months of speculation last Wednesday by finally confirming that it will promote its 2010 test driver Paul di Resta to a race seat alongside Adrian Sutil.
It brought an end to an anxious winter for the DTM champion. Despite positive signs - AUTOSPORT first reported in September that internally the team had decided to give him the drive - di Resta was understandably cautious when it came to talking about his future until he knew for certain that a deal was in place.
