I think he will now join the list of has-been F1 drivers, could perhaps be the next McNish if he changes his attitude.

I agree with some of what you said, namely that Di Resta can be a bit negative, although regarding his time at Force India I think a lot of his negativeity was largely justified. Force India all too often seemed to stop developing the car mid season and that can only be frustrating for a young driver. As for only being a good level of F1 driver, I wouldn't agree with that, he is a ex DTM Champion and some of the results he achieved in F1 in a sub standard car are pretty remarkable, the only reason he isn't in a Sauber or Lotus for 2014 is due to lack of funding rather than lack of pace, maybe he isnt a Alonso or Vettel, but he is certainly up there with the likes of Rosberg and Grosjean etc.
Anyway, I think i've dragged this thread off topic enough now, sorry guys!
