Jul.22 (GMM) Paul di Resta will not be driving the Force India during Friday morning practice at Hockenheim.
The team announced that the decision to sit out its reserve driver in Germany is due to the extreme allocation of Bridgestone's hardest and softest tyre compounds."It's a shame but I completely understand the decision," said the rookie Scot."It's a decision that's been taken relatively late but it's better to err on the side of caution at such a crucial stage in the season," added di Resta, 24.Force India is currently sixth in the constructors' world championship, 42 points behind Renault and just 16 points ahead of the improving Williams team."I'll be back in the car in Hungary, replacing Tonio for free practice 1," di Resta revealed.
