Sports Partnership Signs Di Resta
The Sports Partnership has announced the signing of British Formula 1 driver Paul Di Resta for management.
The 26-year-old Scot, now in his second season as a full-time F1 race driver with Sahara Force India, finished last season as the top rookie.
Having excelled first at karting, Paul moved through the ranks of Formula Renault and Formula 3 before moving to DTM with Mercedes and winning the Championship in 2010.
Paul commented: ‘It’s no secret that I have been looking for new representation and I am delighted to have found this with The Sports Partnership.’
‘They’ve been assisting me in a purely advisory capacity, whilst I’ve been making my decision. Based on how that’s gone and having seen what they’ve achieved with other clients, in and out of the sport of F1, it became clear that it was the right way to go.’
‘Having the right team behind me will allow me to focus on what’s important which is to continue to develop as a driver, further my career in F1 and ultimately fight it out for race wins and a World Championship.’
The Sports Partnership’s Richard Goddard added: ‘Paul is unquestionably a serious talent and a star of the future. We’ve been helping him through the last couple of months and we’re delighted that we will be continuing to work together moving forward. We will ensure Paul is able to simply concentrate on the job at hand and enable him to realise his full potential.’
The news follows the signing of Premiership rugby player Danny Cipriani earlier this month.
