Adrian Sutil has said that he has nothing to prove after re-joining Force India for the 2013 Formula 1 season.
The German was dropped for the 2012 season in favour of Nico Hulkenberg, having partnered Paul di Resta during 2011.
The 30-year-old told Autosport: "I was ahead of [Di Resta]. I was ahead of him in the championship. I was ninth, he was 13th. That's the bottom line. What more can I say?
"I know he's a strong driver, but I have shown I am a strong driver too. It's nothing I have to be worried about.
"I don't think about problems. I look forward to races. I'm a positive person. If I only look at potential problems, then I'll get myself into a real problem. I've only been out of racing for one year."
Sutil was second fastest in this morning's session at the final pre-season test event in Barcelona.
