Formula One driver Nico Hulkenberg has signed two-year contract extension with Force India.

The German, who returned to the team in 2014, has won 24 points this season – one fewer than team-mate Sergio Perez.

"I'm very pleased to finalise and announce my plans for the future," said the 28-year-old.

"I know this team inside out and I feel at home here so it made perfect sense to make a long-term commitment.

"The progress the team has shown over the last two years has really impressed me and gives me confidence for the future.

"It's a great group of people who are hungry for success and want to keep improving year on year.

"I think we have the important things in place going forward and I want to continue growing with this team as we move even further up the grid."
