Force India confirms Perez for 2015

The Mexican joined the Silverstone-based team this season after a difficult season with McLaren last year.

Perez is currently 12th in the standings with 47 points and a best finish of third in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Force India announced at the end of last month that it would also retain Nico Hulkenberg, meaning the team will have an unchanged line-up in 2015.

"I am delighted that Checo will continue with us," said team boss Vijay Mallya. "He's a true racer who has done a fantastic job for us this season. The whole team has been impressed with his speed and racecraft, as well as his role away from the track."

Perez added: "It's good to announce my plans. As soon as I joined Force India, I noticed the hunger and determination of everyone in the team, and I'm very proud to be part of that.

"I feel at home here and I'm fully committed. I'm enjoying my racing and we've already celebrated some special results together."
