Formula One: Di Resta wants fair race with Vettel
“We were teammates in Formula Three in 2006 and we had the same equipment,” said di Resta.
LONDON:
Force India driver Paul di Resta wants to earn a seat at the front of the grid and race Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel in similar gear. Di Resta and Vettel competed together in the ASM Formule Three six years back, when the former won the title by 11 points. “We were teammates in Formula Three in 2006 and we had the same equipment,” said di Resta. “I came out on top that year. You can’t take away what Vettel’s achieved [in Formula One], but he’s been in the best car.”
