I wouldn't mind him getting a few podiums (as long as Vettel and Hamilton aren't 1st and 2nd or if Vettel wins on his own) because he has enough speed to do it
My problem with Di Resta is when something goes wrong whether It's his fault or the teams he feels like he's got to blame the team for not doing a good enough job. If he could accept some of his own errors and stop slagging the team off and also showed more charisma then i could accept him as a decent driver
That doesn't totally make a lot of sense.
You've more or less stated in the first section that he's a good driver, yet you'd only be willing to accept him as such if he improves his public relations? I'm sorry to say this, but all Formula 1 driver moans. That's how it is. The only reason you get Di Resta apparently moaning more is that BBC and Sky interview him after each and every session.
Just because someone's a bit grumpy doesn't make them a bad driver. Maybe a bad character perhaps, but it doesn't affect one's driving. I'd agree he's guilty of blaming his team sometimes, but what do you expect when someone's been knocked out of Q1 knowing they can do better? Imagine it; you're a driver in a hot environment and full to the brim of adrenaline. The radio crackles into life only to provide you with "Paul, you're 17th". You're going to be a bit more than disappointed, and you're going to be looking for a reason why.
There's a difference between who's a good driver and who's a good person. Nelson Piquet, for example: top driver, but a dreadful public figure. You can't say somebody's a crap driver just because you don't like them very much.
