Force India announce that Mexican driver Sergio Perez has agreed a new multi-year contract to remain with the team for 2015 and beyond.

Force India have announced that they have agreed a new multi-year contract with Mexican driver Sergio Perez.

The 24-year-old joined the team after a single season with McLaren ahead of the 2014 campaign, and has secured the team's only podium finish of the year.

He told the team's website: "It's good to announce my plans. As soon as I joined Sahara 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. It's important for me to establish myself in a team and have some continuity. The team have given me a competitive car this year and I believe we can continue to achieve great things together in the future."

Team principal Vijay Mallya added: "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. He has a very bright future in Formula 1 and we will do our utmost to give him the equipment to match his talent."

Formula 1 will return to Perez's home country for the first time since 1992 in 2015.
