Mercedes will think of di Resta if Schumacher leaves

Paul di Resta has successfully entered the world of F1 by managing to collect 27 points and 13th place in the Championship in his first season in the discipline. Conversely, Michael Schumacher always seeks to return to success with Mercedes. If the seven-time world champion still seems capable of achieving brilliant results, the German has been collecting disappointments this year and currently only has two small points in the Championship. His contract expiring at the end of the year, Schumi will decide whether he wants to extend the adventure with the Silver Arrows.

Mercedes had indicated that it would not hesitate to extend the multiple world champion, but Michael Schumacher assures for his part that he has not yet made a decision. If the German leaves the world of F1 again, Nick Fry, CEO of Mercedes AMG F1, admitted that the German manufacturer's choice would fall on Paul di Resta with whom he won the title DTM in 2010. “Paul is in our sights”, he commented on Sky Sports News. “He has done a fantastic job, he is a nice person, he has a very good team spirit and he would clearly be one of the drivers we would want to know if Michael decided not to continue. We're not there yet, but we all have a lot of admiration for Paul. »
