Profile
Driving style
DiParadisa is regarded as a driver that can consistently find pace from cars in various conditions and tracks, as well as adapt to different vehicle setups and philosophies. This has been demonstrated in his failed 2012 title defense, where he extracted pace from his Phaeton SP2012 and scored consistent points, despite the car being the third or fourth-fastest car on qualifying pace. Many paddock observers compare him to Clayton Norris in terms of natural driving feel, with an "almost telepathic sense of grip" when turning around corners.
His preferred driving style is an aggressive one, with a preference for an understeering car. He also has an excellent feel for the brakes, applying them with the right amount of force very quickly. This allows him to throw it into the corners instead of easing it in, without losing any speed upon exit or control of the car. While his style has been noted to be "dirty but effective", former race engineers have stated that DiParadisa understands when to push and when to manage his pace.
Due to his wealth of experience in the sport, DiParadisa is also known for his racecraft and awareness of his surroundings, which makes him one of the most formidable opponents in an on-track battle. Despite the intensity of his duels with other seasoned drivers, he has been described to be "aggressive but fair" by his contemporaries, and is masterful at placing his car at the right place at the right time. In addition to this, his race starts have been superb, as he would make up places in the first few laps by taking unorthodox methods to overtake other drivers. As such, many have declared DiParadisa to be one of the most intelligent drivers on the grid.
