Di Resta rued that they did not read the conditions well enough from the pit wall, adding that by the time they did it was too late. Force India boss Vijay Mallya has issued a public apology


to team driver Paul di Resta after a fumbled tyre call wrecked his hopes of a career-best finish on the podium ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. The Scot is set to start from a distant 17th

regretted that the Silverstone-based team missed their chance because of their own mistakes, adding that they could have qualified in the top five as Di Resta was incredibly fast. Meanwhile,
