Pretty straight forward 1[SUP]st[/SUP] season with Lotus, near impossible to finish above 19[SUP]th[/SUP] especially on 50% race distance as the KERS teams just have too much speed and I don’t weave in and out like a madman trying to block the AI, I make one defensive move to add to the realism, only on some tracks can you actually compete because the AI are naturally slow.
Had offers from Force India (Beat my rival Sutil), Williams, HRT, Virgin and Lotus , decided to go with Force India for the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] season as they actually finished above Williams so moved up to a Tier 3 team, plus I love the way the FI car looks. I have to say going from the Lotus to the Force India is a massive change, I have to slightly change my driving style now and the sound of the engine is just sexual! Plus added bonus of KERS.
Had a quick run in P1 of Melbourne last night to test the new car out and to my surprise Di Resta was sitting in 5[SUP]th[/SUP] towards the end of the session with myself in 9th!
