Formula One: McLaren approached me, says Di Resta

Force India driver Paul di Resta has revealed that he came close to joining McLaren, according to Autosport. The Scot says that he was among the names shortlisted to replaced Lewis Hamilton, who has left to race for Mercedes. “I’m not going to give away too much, but yes, there were discussions,” he said. “I’ve got a great relationship with McLaren. Our paths may cross. It may be in a car that’s beating them. But if I’ve got to work with them, they’re professional people and they win races, and that’s what I’m in the sport to do.”
