Completely agree, FooAtari. Anyone know his times from the McLaren test?

I think he has every potential to not only win the DTM world championship, but also the F1 world championship. I just hope the big wigs at Mercedes don't destroy his F1 career like they did Gary Paffett's!

Yes My friend Gary Pafett who tests, when I and Unca Pedro are too tired also has won DTM championship and has won races on his return in DTM in "Old Car". So Di Resta will get to test when I want "Resta with my celeb friends". If He wanna Drive I will ask Unca Rona to make him sign of "Subserviant Policy and compromised race strategy clauses".

merc are negotiating with force india engine supply, and may put di resta in a seat there. that will be the end of his F1 career. he would be better off trying gp2 or a1 for a year, to see how he adapts.

Yes but Jamie Green is a cheat. He does himself no favours by getting involved in the Mercedes - Audi politics. Didnt he recently get a penalty for ramming people off the road? Ive seen him do it so many times, his conduct is discraceful.
