Nico Hulkenberg will stay with the Force India team next season, he and the team confirmed on Monday.
The German rejoined the team at the start of this season after a brief spell at Sauber.
He currently sits eighth in the standings with 76 points, five more than Williams’ Felipe Massa, and has scored in 13 of the 16 races so far.
“It’s good to confirm my plans for next season,” said Hulkenberg. “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 boss Vijay Mallya said he was proud to have “one of the best” driving for his team once again.
“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.”
