Paul di Resta is keen on moving to Ferrari next season and his performance so far this year has been encouraging for the Italian team to take a note.
Di Resta has secured points in seven of the eight grand prix and more importantly from tough positions. Surely he must be disappointed when overlooked by Red Bull after Mark Webber made the decision of quitting Formula One at the end of season.
But Felipe Massa's poor run this season could encourage Di Resta of signing up with Ferrari at least to be in the contention.
"You would jump at it, definitely," said Di Resta. "Obviously it's every boy's dream as they grow up to get in a Ferrari at some point in their life, and being Italian is a nice thing, having the Italian blood.
"But I will concentrate on my job and let other people do their job. Where I am next year I don't know, but there are many points up for grabs. That is the important bit - keeping your reputation high."
Di Resta had to compromise his positions in the last few races but bounced back well to finish good in the grid. In Monaco and Canada, during qualifying due to his team's mistakes he had to start at 17th but managed to finish strong at ninth and seventh respectively.
In the last race, which was the British Grand Prix - Di Resta was relegated to start from the back because his car weighed 1.5kgs less during qualifying. But still then he managed to finish ninth.
