'Naturally I am thrilled to be making my race debut this season. Becoming an F1 driver has been a long-held ambition of mine, something I've wanted to do since I first stepped into a kart, and to finally realise it feels amazing," di Resta said.
"I've worked really hard for this opportunity throughout my career and to get it with Force India, a young team that's got ambitions as big as mine, is genuinely exciting. I can't wait to be on the grid in Bahrain, it can't come soon enough. Last year I became third driver here and good things happened, so here's hoping we get more good things." di Resta added.
di Resta was Force India's reserve driver last season, and that position has now been filled by Nico Hulkenberg, who failed to secure a Formula One seat after his release from Williams. "I'm happy to be in an F1 team and Force India have shown some good progress for a young team," the young German explained.
Force India boss Vijay Mallya has expressed delight with the team's new driver line-up. "I am genuinely excited by the drivers we will be fielding in 2011. I believe that the combination of talent we've assembled gives us one of the strongest line-ups on the grid: Adrian has matured into one of F1's most consistent and highly-rated young drivers, while Paul is, I believe, a real star of the future. He has won in every category in his career and this base speed was in evidence when he got in the car on Fridays last year."
"With Nico, signing him was too good an opportunity to let by. He showed a good racing head and talent and I was amazed by his control in Brazil last year. Together I think they are a formidable partnership and will help take us to the next level of performance," Mallya added.
