Paul di Resta

Overview

Paul di Resta is a British driver who entered Formula 1 after winning the DTM title. From 2011 he raced for Force India, where he became a steady midfield points contender known for consistency, low-error execution and technical understanding rather than flamboyance. His F1 career also included a remarkable late substitute appearance for Williams at the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix, replacing Felipe Massa with minimal preparation. After leaving a regular F1 seat, di Resta worked in broadcasting and endurance racing. He is remembered as a composed, practical professional with a strong touring-car and single-seater background.
