About Paul di Resta
Paul di Resta, a British driver born in 1986, competed in Formula 1 across four seasons, making 59 starts and scoring 121 points. He debuted with Force India in 2011 at the age of 25, scoring 27 points and finishing thirteenth in the championship in his rookie year.
He remained with the Silverstone-based team for three consecutive seasons, improving his points hauls each year: 46 in 2012 and a career-best 48 in 2013, when he was classified twelfth in the drivers' standings, the highest final position of his career.
After 2013 his run of full seasons ended, but he reappeared in 2017 for a single outing with Williams, which brought no points. That late one-off, four seasons after his last Force India campaign, closed out his Formula 1 record.
Di Resta's career is notable for its consistency: three full seasons with one team, a points total that grew every year, and championship classifications between twelfth and fourteenth throughout — the profile of a dependable midfield points scorer of the early 2010s.
