Paul di Resta thinks McLaren will recover soon – Formula 1 News
Force India driver, Paul di Resta, has said that McLaren are a strong squad and they will recover from their problems soon to fight back in the season ahead.

and they are hoping to keep on scoring good points in the approaching races.
“McLaren is a strong team and they will keep improving, but in the races so far we have been fighting them and we've often been quicker,” di Resta said. “Realistically, though, we are doing a great job
regularly beating our direct rivals - Sauber, Williams and Toro Rosso. Our strength has been our consistency - we have been performing well in each of the races so far, and we are now looking forward to the Sundays with confidence.”
The 27-year-old is currently standing at 8th place in the drivers’ championship with 26 points. In addition, he is behind Romain Grosjean of Lotus and is ahead of Nico Rosberg of
Mercedes. He has scored points in four out of first five races and is confidently looking forward to perform well in the season ahead.
In contrast, his teammate, Adrian Sutil has only been able to score 6 points in the season until now. But, he is eying to perform better in the forthcoming races.
“Despite everything that has happened during the last four races, I remain positive,” Sutil said.
It will be really interesting to see how the Silverstone based team performs in the Monaco GP this weekend.
