Paul di Resta thinks Force India cash boost will take time to provide results – Formula 1 news
Force India driver Paul di Resta thinks that their car boost will take at least two years to provide the expected results.
The Silverstone based team approved an investment programme worth £50 million during the last month in order to enhance its technology.
There are many reports which are stating that Force India will be very competitive in the 2013 Formula 1 season as they have invested such a huge amount of money in making the technological advancement.
However, Di Resta believes that the next season will be too early to judge the effect of their investment as it is going to take a couple of years to attain the desire results.
“I think ultimately you shouldn't really be looking at next year because I think you should be looking a year back and then two years forward,” said di Resta. “The foundations are obviously getting bigger and there's a great level of investment coming.”
“For a team like this you will get true benefits for it, but I think you see that for years to come as opposed to the near future,” he said. “Given the way this team works and the small network it has, I think it will build upon something.”
“That is always one thing that seems to happen,” he added.
It will be important to mention that Di Resta’s teammate, Nico Hulkenberg who performed impressively well in this season has planned to move to Sauber in the next season. On the other hand, Sergio Perez is going to join McLaren as Lewis Hamilton’s replacement.
Therefore, the Scot will definitely have more responsibility on his shoulders in the coming year. Nevertheless, he has asserted that he is very well prepared and is looking forward to score points with more consistency in the next season.
Force India emerged as one of the most competitive midfield contenders in this season. Furthermore, they successfully securing 7th place in this year’s constructors’ championship.
Presently, they are targeting to make some necessary developments in their car during the winter testing so as to attain good results right from the start of the next season.
