Force India's Paul di Resta qualified 10th for Spanish Grand Prix while his teammate Adrian Sutil will start the race at the 13th position, here tomorrow.

Di Resta clocked 1:22.233 to finish last in Q3 while Sutil came up with a timing of 1:22.346 in Q2.

The top-10 grid position gives the British driver a chance to earn some points for the team at Circuit de Catalunya.

Meanwhile, di Resta was forced to bring his car to a halt after the tread completely came off the left rear Pirelli tyre during the second free practice session.

An initial analysis suggested that the problem was caused by overheating of the tread rather than debris on the circuit.
