AUSTIN, Texas -- AUSTIN, Texas -- Sergio Perez will remain with Force India for a sixth season in 2019.
A contract extension for the Mexican driver has looked likely for several months since the financial takeover which saved the team in August. That process was triggered by Perez taking legal action against the team which allowed administrators to talk to interested parties.
Force India helped revive Perez's career in 2014 after signing him following a difficult season at McLaren. Since then he has claimed five podiums for the team, most recently at this year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
