Di Resta hails Grand Prix result amid violent scenes

SCOTTISH Formula One driver Paul di Resta hailed his result in Bahrain as a "massive achievement" for his team in the wake of a turbulent week which saw staff narrowly escape injury in a petrol bomb attack.

The Bathgate-born Force India driver finished sixth after briefly leading the race won by Sebastian Vettel, equalling his highest finish.

He said: "It was an outstanding performance by every member of the team, and under difficult circumstances. It's been difficult for every team member, but every one of them has stood up."
