One to Watch
I mentioned Paul di Resta yesterday, as he had to recover his car from test driver Nico Hülkenberg who kindly trashed it for him. I think it's worth keeping an eye on Paul again this time out, as he was only granted seven laps of running yesterday. He was magnanimous about it, but I think he's a bit worried about his lack of experience.
