Force India have confirmed Nico Hulkenberg will drive for the team until the end of the 2017 Formula One season.
Hulkenberg rejoined the team at the start of 2014 after a year at Sauber.
The German was heavily linked with a move to Ferrari however, the Italian team decided to retain Raikkonen for 2016.
“I’m very pleased to finalise and announce my plans for the future. I know this team inside out and I feel at home here so it made perfect sense to make a long-term commitment,” said Hulkenberg.
“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.”
