Another productive day for di Resta

Paul di Resta continued Force India's winter testing programme at Valencia, completing more than 100 laps and setting the third fastest time behind Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel.

"It was another good day of testing for the team, gathering lots of information for the guys to work on as we prepare for the debut of the VJM04 next week," he said. "We're now understanding a lot more about the performance of the Pirellis and the differences between the compounds, particularly with regards to long and shorter runs and different fuel loads.

"At this stage we're not going for times, just trying to get representative data to work on. I'm feeling good and well integrated into the team and my new role, there's a really positive atmosphere, which will set us up extremely well for next week when the new car testing programme starts."

The only minor glitch came when he caused a red flag as he spun on worn tyres.

Adrian Sutil will take over for the final day of testing on Thursday.
