Force India should approach me: Sutil

Bangkok: Adrian Sutil says he is not desperate for a drive with Sahara Force India and if the team needs him they should approach him with an offer.

Force India is looking for Paul di Resta`s teamate after Nico Hulkenberg left for Sauber. Sutil was part of the team sine its early days but was replaced by Hulkenberg at the start of 2012. "In five years I was in this team, they know how good I am and they know my qualities. I am not the one going to this team saying, `please, please give me the drive`. They should come to me and say, `we want you.` I want to drive for this team but they should also want me as a driver. I am quite relaxed," the German was quoted as saying by Autosport. "I know how to handle the situation. I did the maximum I could do and now it is up to them to decide if I am in the seat or not," he said. Several drivers including team`s reserve driver Jules Bianchi, Kamui Kobayashi, Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari are in contention for the Force India seat. Sutil also said that his one-year break from the sport will actually help him in the new season. "It was a different year. I really enjoyed the year, it was one of the best ever, as I had time for different things in life. I am definitely more settled in my life right now and ready for a new beginning in F1," he said. PTI
