Like British compatriot Lewis Hamilton, Paul di Resta is prepared for a closely-fought Spanish Grand Prix as the Formula 1 community reunites in Europe this weekend. In his first Barcelona race with Force India last year, the Scot qualified 16th and finished in 12th position.
Di Resta travels to Barcelona following last week’s test session at Mugello, when his programme was affected by both poor weather and some technical problems.
“We didn’t do a massive number of laps but it was a chance to start evaluating some of our car developments,” he explains. “There’s still plenty of work to do in free practice to get on top of the car, but we’ve already done the basic checks.
“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.”
Last time out in Bahrain, di Resta finished in a highly respectable sixth place despite missing the second practice session. At present he is inside the top ten of the Drivers’ Championship.
