Sergio Perez Joins Nico Hülkenberg At Force India

Sahara Force India has announced Sergio Perez as their second driver on Thursday. The Mexican, who has agreed a multi-year deal with the Silverstone-based outfit, will race alongside German Nico Hülkenberg in 2014.

"It’s great to announce my new team as Sahara Force India," the 23 year old said. "Coming here was always my first choice and I’m really happy everything has now been confirmed. I want to say thank you to Vijay and the whole team for giving me the opportunity."

"This is a young team with a lot of determination and they’ve produced competitive cars for the last few years. It’s all change for next season with the new regulations, but I already have a good feeling about 2014. My plan now is to visit the factory and get to know everyone in the team."

In comparison with last year's driver line-up, the Indian team will start the new season with a completely new driver pairing, having decided not to retain Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta for 2014.

"It’s a pleasure to welcome Sergio to the team," said Team Principal and Managing Director Dr. Vijay Mallya. "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."

"We also recognise Sergio’s incredible talent and we are proud to have him in our team. He clearly has great speed and plenty of fire in his belly. Our job is to make sure he settles in quickly by creating the right atmosphere so that he can realise his potential. By pairing Sergio alongside Nico, we enter the new season with an extremely competitive line-up, which will go toward helping us achieve our goals for the new season."

As from now, eight teams have finalized their driver line-up, with only Sauber, Caterham and Marussia yet to confirm their racing drivers for the 2014 season.
