Force India driver Paul di Resta could choose to follow his cousin, Dario Franchitti and join IndyCar racing for the next season, according to reports.
According to the Guardian, di Resta is being forced to consider a driving career outside Formula One as seats run out for next season.
Di Resta said that he built a good reputation in DTM racing, which he won in 2010, and there are opportunities in a few other series, adding that he has always been slightly concerned about the safety of IndyCar but sitting down and looking at it logically, it is a serious option.
Force India, as usual, will not announce their 2014 drivers until the end of December but they want to re-sign the highly rated Nico Hulkenberg from Sauber, the report said.
The incumbent Adrian Sutil and Sergio Perez, who have been dropped by McLaren, are favourites for the other seat, the report added.
