The young man from Uphall, West Lothian, UK is considered as the most talented rookie of this 2011 season. Di Resta (aged 25) has joined the elite line of Scottish Formula 1 drivers which includes Formula One World Champions Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart and David Coulthard.
He has fulfilled his first dream to drive a F1 car. Next on the agenda must surely be his first F1 podium, first victory and first title.
In the 2011 season, the big move happened as Di Resta joined forces with Adrian Sutil as Force India’s driver. He had an impressive start to a season when he scored his maiden points in the Formula 1 on his debut race at Melbourne. He finished at 10th place and he further scored points for the team in the very next Malaysian GP maintained his decent run of form.
In a career which has just started to blossom, Paul has impressed everyone in the Formula 1 grid. He has totally out paced his team mate Adrian Sutil, who is the star driver for the Indian team and has thus made his mark on the grid. So far in the 2011 season, he is the only Force India driver to have made a Q3 appearance despite being the junior driver. Such is his talent which is blossoming at full speed. Here is hoping that he continues to make waves on the F1 circuit and move to greater things.
His talent was even noticed by Mercedes Team Boss Norbert Haug who consider him a great talented driver and this speculated his move to Mercedes in near future. As Mercedes powered engine roar in the Force India, he is surely getting a backing from the team for which he won DTM championship in 2010.
As he was questioned, "who he will call for dinner party from F1". He wants to invite Jim Clark, Ayrton Senna, Juan Manuel Fangio and Enzo Ferrari to dinner.
