Paul Di Resta lost this year his position on the grid of Formula 1, after 3 consecutive years in the team of Force India. The only option was the one with prospects of a return to DTM, with the team of Mercedes. Di Resta took the title in this event in 2005, but his only goal remains to return to F1.
At Mercedes they know very well that ( the F1) is the place I want to be and I have their full support . We’ll see how things go, but right now there is nothing for another position (in Mercedes).
His compatriot David Coulthard, believes that Toto Wolff is smart enough to give a role to the 27-year old, in the group of Formula 1. Something he deems necessary in order for Di Resta to have any chance of return.
Surely I see a chance for Paul there because the head of Mercedes motorsport, Toto Wolff, knows very well the DTM .
He (Wolff) knows Paul and brought him to the team because he knows he can do a good job for Mercedes. The role of a third driver will be a great opportunity for Paul. It is a known quantity, he can drive a racing car and he drive it fast. I hope that this opportunity will be given to him.
