Force India have reportedly decided to reappoint Adrian Sutil as one of their two main drivers for the upcoming campaign.
The German was absent from last season after he was found to be guilty of causing grievous bodily harm following an incident in a Chinese nightclub.
However, having returned behind the wheel during last week's testing sessions in Barcelona, Sutil will now partner Paul di Resta over the forthcoming months, according to Sky Sports News.
The report went on to claim that Jules Bianchi, who was also believed to be a contender for the vacancy, will be kept on as a test driver.
Sutil, 30, spent four years driving for Force India between 2007 and 2011.
