Paul di Resta has "high hopes" of registering his first podium finish in this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix after an encouraging start on Friday.

Di Resta would not be drawn on the specifics of Pirelli's prototype tyre, which was debuted on Friday as they seek to fix the delamination problems seen recently. "It's an unfair test because we were straight out on a green track. We're not commenting too much on it, I think it was very benign but we'll have to have a good look at the wear profile and where it is," he added. "There's guys here whose speciality is to see that. We're concentrating on our tyres for this weekend because that's what we're racing on."
