As a team boss you will always say it was a joint call and not that of the driver alone. And as a driver looking to advance you will always say it was entirely you. Interviews are a bit like a CV for a mid-field team, you big up what you did in the hope of advancement.
Personally, I like Di Resta!!
As for how he speaks when he's interviewed, I'd like to point out that there is a certain driver,
who happens to be a favourite of oh, so many, who described how he won in the first person
( I, me, my), yet, when he lost, he spoke of his battle as a group effort (we, us, our)!!
If you mean Lewis, this is what he said after his first win for Mercedes....
"The team has just done an exceptional job," he said. "We have worked so hard to understand these tyres and we got the balance spot on."
But this is the Di Resta thread and in the last race, he claimed the credit personally for the tyre call ( though the boss said it was he and the strategists) then it was the car that was too slow, not we were too slow.
Maybe I'll soften to him, I hope so.
