Di Resta to demoted to last place from 5th after penalty in qualifying

Paul Di Resta qualified in his career best 5th place

One of the four Brits who was competing for home glory, Force India’s Paul Di Resta, who had a sensational qualifying, earning 5th spot on the grid, has now be excluded from the Qualifying results as it was found that his car was 1.5kgs below the minimum car weight of 642 kilograms in the post-qualifying checks.

This will not only leave the Brit and his team disappointed, but also the fans who were looking to see all their 4 home heroes do well.

Now he will start from the last, at the 22nd position. Any position he makes up from there will be good. Canada was a great example of what the young driver can do. Starting from 17th he finished in 7th stopping only once. Repeating this in front of his home crowd will be another great achievement.
