Paul di Resta and his now former manager Anthony Hamilton have parted ways in a surprise split on the eve of the British Grand Prix.
Hamilton, father of McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, has managed Di Resta since 2010 when he won the German Touring Car Championship, before securing him a seat at Force India for the 2011 season.
The 26-year-old Scot has been touted as Michael Schumacher’s possible replacement at Mercedes when the seven-time world champion decides to call it a day for the second time.
This, and the fact Hamilton has been a driving force behind the advanced talks, built up a strong bond between the pair, therefore making the split somewhat unusual.
