How do we all think he compares to Hulkenberg? Pretty close?

Lacks that few percent extra that make the difference at the front of the grid imo.

I've immense respect for both drivers, but there's no doubting that Hulkenberg is bloody quick.

Hmmm interesting way to start a thread hehe

Diresta... should remain in F1. Better than several guys. But hasn't shown anything out of the ordinary, but really, hasn't shown many mistakes either.

He can still land a top seat. Why would his chances be over?

I like di Resta because he is Scottish.

[Cat Like Thief]

An arrogant formula 1 driver?

not sure he matches Hulks pace, but he does bring the car home.. is that enough to win a championship? Maybe not.. but consistency has been king for much of the year.

He is unbelievably boring to watch during an interview though..

I find him interesting as he seems pretty knowledgable. He doesn't come accross as a boring media darling.

[vlad]

Oh, but he does. Always crying because Vettel and Hamilton entered F1 before him, never happy, almost never smiling, wtf?! And I guarantee that if he was on Hulkenberg's place during the last race, he wouldn't be able to pull that great double-overtaking move.

Di resta is very technical, and yes he may be a bit boring on the track but he did very well in DTM winning a season AND he beat Vettle and Hamilton and Rosberg in F3, he also won a championship in F3 beating Vettle in the same car!

Now to compare him with Hamilton (And accuse him of arrogance and not Hamilton is rather ironic) is ridiculous, as Hamilton went straight into a top team that is well established into the sport, Di resta wen't into a relativly new team, that aren't know for winning races, occasionally both Hulkenburg and Di resta have got to 4th, they are both exceptional drivers with an un-exceptional team that, from the outside at least, seem to be working VERY hard on improving, in my opinion FI and Torro Rosso are the two lower teir teams that have advanced the most.

First of all, it's Vettel, not Vettle. Yes, he managed to score more points in that season, but it was just a junior category. And he doesn't stop crying about it. FFS, concentrate on what you have now. I'm not saying that he's a bad driver, far from that. His skills are great, but he lacks the fighting spirit and he should get over his past. Force India has a great team, especially this season.

Fair point though.

If you wanna be really pedantic, you should probably write Hülkenberg instead of Hulkenberg...

Not all of us have "umlauts" always on the keyboard. But, I can also write it Huelkenberg, if you want to be pedantic.
