(Sahara Force India Formula One Team)
Scotland's Paul Di Resta says that he is hopeful o returning to Formula One as he believes that he is still young enough to be competitive in the sport. Di Rests is back racing in the German Touring Championship this season after losing his drive with the Sahara Force India team after the Silverstone outfit opted to replace both the Scot and Germany's Adrian Sutil with Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio 'Checco' Perez.
Di Resta made his full Formula One race debut with Force India in 2011 after taking part in a number of Friday practice sessions for the team over the previous season. Speaking to the Herald Scotland as he returned to the Nurburgring for this weekend's DTM race where he will compete with Mercedes Di Resta said:
'I loved F1. I enjoyed every single thing about it, 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 be involved this season.the company
Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff has stated that the company will do everything in their power to get Di Resta back into Formula One.
The Scot has confirmed that at this stage in time he does not know what his plans are for 2015 and right now he is concentrating on obtaining better results in the DTM. Di Resta along with his cousin, former IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti were at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone earlier this season so he has been a presence in the paddock this season.
It also depends on what options in Formula One become available next season.
