8:02 am on 4 December 2013

German Nico Hulkenberg will drive for Force India in next year's Formula One Championship.

Hulkenberg drove for Force India in 2012 having been a test driver there the previous year.

Hulkenberg finished 10th this season with Sauber.

Team principal and managing director Vijay Mallya says the signing of one of the sport's brightest talents will help the team build on their sixth place in the constructors' championship in 2013.

Adrian Sutil and Paul Di Resta were Force India's drivers this season and the team say they'll announce their full driver line-up for 2014 in due course.

Sutil recently made critical comments about the car and was quoted in an interview as saying it was like a carrot.
