Sergio Perez has signed on to a multi-year deal and will race with Force India for the 2014 season and beyond.
Perez has been enduring a rough season in comparison to his teammate, Nico Hulkenberg (who has also signed on to Force India for 2015), who sits three spots ahead of him in the championship in P9. Sergio Perez has 47 points this year and just one podium to show for after 18 of the 19 races this season.
