Former Force India driver Paul di Resta has said that he is not giving up on returning to Formula 1 in the future. The Scot drove for Force India from his debut in 2011 up until 2013, when he eventually returned to DTM after not securing a drive for the 2014 season, thanks to lack of sponsorship.
Even after a long list of retirements at the end of the 2013 season, di Resta still out performed team-mate Adrian Sutil by 19 points, but was unable to sustain his drive with the team.
In a recent interview however, he has said that F1 is still his goal.
“I loved F1; I enjoyed every single thing about it,” he stated in an interview with the Scottish Herald newspaper.
“It’s the best racing there is and you are up there with la creme de la creme, so obviously it was disappointing not to get the chance to be involved this season. But you have to put up with setbacks and it’s how you react to these things which matter.
“I am confident people have seen that I have the qualities to succeed in F1 but, of course, things keep changing in the sport, whether it’s the rules or the driver line-ups and, unfortunately, the situation arose where there wasn’t a place for me.
“I am still young enough to believe I can gain another opportunity and I am pushing as hard as I can to make it happen. It obviously helps if you can bring a lot of money to the table, but I worked hard to earn my chance in the first place and I’m not going anywhere. I want to be back in F1 and I will do whatever I can to fulfil that ambition.”
