BATHGATE’S PAUL DI RESTA not only made his Formula One racing debut in the Australian Grand Prix, but the 24-year-old scored his first world championship point. And the F1 rookie admitted the waiting had ‘definitely been worth it’, writes Jim McGill.
Di Resta, who started his first F1 race with Force India from 14th on the grid, two places ahead of his more experienced team-mate Adrian Sutil, delivered a strong and mature performance throughout the 58 laps round the tight and demanding Albert Park street circuit in downtown Melbourne.
