Force India confirms Paul, Nico for 2012
Sahara Force India F1 Team confirmed that Britain's Paul di Resta and Germany's Nico Hulkenberg will form its line-up for the 2012 season.
Paul continues with the team for his second season in a race seat, while Nico steps up from his role as reserve driver.
"I am delighted to present our line-up for the 2012 season. In Paul and Nico we have two extremely talented drivers with tremendous potential," Vijay Mallya, Team Principal and Managing Director, said in a statement.
"I think Paul caught the eye of everybody in the pit lane during his rookie season. His speed, maturity and racecraft confirmed that we were right to believe in him and we look forward to working with him again next year.
"As for Nico, we identified him as a rising star at the end of 2010 and chose to evaluate him during the course of this season.
Despite having only limited time in the car, he convinced us that he deserved a race seat for 2012.
"Our new line-up means we say 'goodbye' to Adrian Sutil, who has been with the team since we entered the sport. He has been an integral part of our success over the past four seasons and we wish him well for the future." Hulkenberg, who will replace compatriot Adrian Sutil at the Silverstone-based team, said, "I am obviously delighted to be staying with Sahara Force India and to be given the chance to race next year.
