Di Resta happy to start in midfield team

McLaren's next protégé Paul di Resta has added fuel to the fire that he will end up racing at Force India next season by saying that he would have no problem joining a midfield F1 team if the opportunity was there.

"What's a bad team to drive for?" di Resta told Autosport. "The driver has to make the best of what he has and you've got to be beating your team mate on a regular basis, then you can make a case for the car holding you back."

"It's a difficult one, but I'm up for that challenge if it's possible," added the 22-year-old.
