Just look no further than his old teammate Hulkenberg who did not allow himself to bad mouth the team at any time this year even though it was a complete mess with reliabilty issues and a generel disappointment in terms of speed and consistency of the car /tyre combo.Even when sauber could not pay his salary he just covered the legal issues and refused to comment on the rest -a true pro ...keeping open all doors to cash in when a rare moment of competitiveness is in the car -he has the team behind him and he delivers 100% of what is possible on the day and not forgetting to praise the team for the effort afterwards as well...very commendable and surely a very convincing sign to any team searching for a strong addition to their driver lineup...
di Resta unfortunatelly has chosen a route coming across not so positive .and not effective as well.No wonder it does go easy with erratic race performances..he has to step back and rethink his attitude maybe.
I rate Hulkenburg very highly, and I know it sounds stupid given the fact that he is unproven against a top driver in a top team, but I have this gut feeling that he could be the best all rounder on the grid - right up there with Alonso. I don't think I know of another driver who has a past record like his, he was proven that he is good at whatever he puts his hand to. And he is a hell of a nice guy to boot. What is especially likeable about him is that he has never lucked into anything, he isn't a pay driver, or part of some special driver program, he there because he is exemplary and he comes across as a very humble down to earth guy.
As you can tell I am a bit of a fan
The guy needs his own thread.
