Hulkenberg to stay at Force India in 2015
Force India has confirmed that Nico Hulkenberg will remain at the team in 2015.
After a season at Sauber in 2013, Hulkenberg returned to Force India this year and has had his best season to date with 76 points from 16 races, including four fifth place finishes. It will be the first time in his career that Hulkenberg has stayed at the same team for two seasons in a row.
"It's good to confirm my plans for next season," he said. "This is a team I know extremely well and we've enjoyed a great year together with some special results. The team has big ambitions and I believe we can have a competitive package once again next year.
"We have a strong partner in Mercedes and everyone in the team is motivated and hungry for more success. I have a good feeling for 2015 and there is a lot to be excited about as we try to build on the results we have achieved this year."
Team principal Vijay Mallya added: "Everybody in the team is delighted to see Nico remain a Sahara Force India driver for next season. We rate him very highly and he has done a tremendous job this year by consistently picking up crucial championship points.
"We know him extremely well: he's a true racer and he knows how to motivate the team. I am convinced he is one of the best talents on the grid and I am proud that he will continue to race in the colours of Sahara Force India."
Hulkenberg's team-mate for 2015 has yet to be confirmed, although Sergio Perez believes he is closing in on a deal to stay for another season.
