Di Resta to concentrate on the week ahead

Force India’s Paul Di Resta is reportedly among the shortlisted candidates to replace under-performing Ferrari driver Felipe Massa in 2013. But the Briton is not losing sleep over the possible move to Formula One’s glamour team.

Instead, Di Resta is concentrating on getting a good result at this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix rather than thinking about his future prospects.

“The important thing is to concentrate on the week ahead. We have a good result in Bahrain and we hope to continue the momentum,” Di Resta told DNA when asked about what he thought of about his possible link-up to Ferrari. 

DI Resta gambled on a two-stop strategy at the Bahrain Grand Prix compared to three employed by rest of the grid and it paid off as he finished sixth, giving the team its best finish of the season.
Now he wants to continue with the momentum at Barcelona. “I probably know Barcelona better than any other track on the calendar. We did two tests there in the winter and I had four days in the car so I already feel quite well prepared, but it’s the same for everyone. I expect the field to be incredibly close once again,” he said.
