Di Resta focused on Force India

Force India star Paul Di Resta has vowed to concentrate on the job in hand rather than speculation of a future move to one of Formula One's top teams.
The Scot enjoyed a promising first season in the sport in 2011, scoring 25 of the 27 points garnered by his team.
It's always been a dream to be in some of those cars at the front of the grid, but my commitment and concentration are with Force India.

That has raised talk of a possible switch to Red Bull, Mercedes or Ferrari at the end of the 2012 campaign, but Di Resta has played down such talk.
He said at the launch of Force India's new car: "I wouldn't say it plays on my mind at the moment.
"Obviously you want to be winning races, world championships and you want to be in the best position to do that.
"It's always been a dream to be in some of those cars at the front of the grid, but my commitment and concentration are with Force India."
The new 20-race F1 season gets underway in Australia on 18th March, with Di Resta having finished in tenth place in his debut race just over ten months ago.
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel took the chequered flag and he went on to dominate the season, winning a second consecutive drivers' title with ease.
Vettel is 3.75 to complete a hat-trick in 2012, with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso 4.50 and McLaren's Jenson Button 8.00.
