McLaren chief Whitmarsh says pleased with Sergio Perez's Force India move

McLaren team principal, Martin Whitmarsh has expressed his happiness at the fact that Sergio Perez is set to remain in Formula One in 2014.

According to the Guardian, Whitmarsh dropped Pérez less than a fortnight ago after one year at McLaren but the Mexican is expected to drive for Force India next season.

It appears likely Nico Hülkenberg, who has been re-hired by the Silverstone-based team after he quit them a year ago to join Sauber, will partner Pérez, the report said.

Assuming both deals are confirmed, Force India drivers Paul Di Resta and Adrian Sutil will face an uncertain future in the sport, the report added.

Whitmarsh said that lots of stuff had been written but he thinks Perez is a young man who has been incredibly dignified.
