Paul di Resta says he ready "for a new challenge" after losing his Force India seat.

Force India has opted to change both its drivers for 2014, with Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez replacing di Resta and Adrian Sutil. After Perez was confirmed on Thursday afternoon, di Resta took to Twitter to thank the team for bringing him in to Formula One, with his future now uncertain.

Just want to take this opportunity to thank @clubforce for 4 great years. As a team we've come a long way in our time together

But it's now time for a new challenge for me in the next phase of my career and I wish them all the best for the future #beenapleasure
