Former Ferrari driver David Coulthard says people must not expect too much of fellow Scot Paul di Resta in his debut season on the Formula 1 circuit.

Di Resta, 24, is one of Force India's drivers for the coming campaign German Adrian Sutil.

"If Paul can get close to Adrian or match him in the early races that would be incredible," Coulthard said."If he can be in front of him near the end of the year, that sets him out as a driver to be watched for the future."
