HRT should just not fill the extra seat. There's no point to it anyway.

Paul Di Resta is a major talent....when he went head to head with Sebastian Vettel in Formula 3, he was clearly better and spanked him.

I predict this young fellow will rise quickly....won the Mercedes DTM championship last year. Hopefully Force India will give him a decent car to get in a strong rookie year.

Some strong family bloodlines too....he is first cousin to Dario and Marino Franchitti, and joins a long list of scottish racing talent that has made it to the big time.

Good luck Paul !

I hope you're right! It'd be great to see another rookie tear up the field.

Wish Chandok still had a seat.
I enjoyed following him on twitter as he posted up tons of pics and info, made you feel like you were part of the F1 circus.
