Paul di Resta (born 16 April 1986) is a British racing driver and broadcaster from Scotland, currently competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Peugeot. Di Resta competed in Formula One between 2011 and 2017.
Born in Uphall and raised in Bathgate, di Resta drove in Formula One for Force India from 2011 to 2013, and became a reserve driver for the Williams F1 team in 2016, driving a single race for them as a substitute driver in 2017. A former Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) and Formula 3 Euro Series champion, di Resta did not secure a Formula One seat for 2014, instead rejoining Mercedes to race again in DTM. He later became a reserve F1 driver for McLaren for the 2022 season, and a former commentator for Sky Sports' coverage of F1.
