Whitmarsh: “Happy if Perez were to go to Force India”

Now that the permanence of Sergio Perez in the Circus her former boss seems almost certain Martin Whitmarsh breathe a sigh of relief.

“I am very happy because he is young, serious and nice – his words to Autosport when informed of the interest from Force India – We have done everything possible to help him find a place, he really deserves it and he also demonstrated it during the race in Brazil. He's a fighter, sometimes, as some have said, even too much, but at his age it's normal to take risks and throw yourself into battle. I hope to see him in 2014 with the same desire to fight us."

Then regarding the possible dismissal of Paul di Resta he concluded: “Nowadays everything is more difficult and in F1 there are and continue to be drivers less talented than him and this is sad. There is no confirmation yet, but it will most likely arrive soon."
