after one season where he has been replaced by Kevin Magnussen.

“It’s a pleasure to welcome Sergio to the team. He brings a healthy mix of youth and experience, and I’ve been very impressed with his recent performances. He already has several podium finishes to his name and being chosen by McLaren last year was a clear indication that he is a driver to watch for the future,” said team principal and managing director Vijay Mallya.

Perez says that Force India was his first choice for a new team, and he says that he will visit the factory soon to meet the entire team.

Force India has confirmed Nico Hülkenberg as its second driver for the 2014 season.
