Marussia have confirmed that Max Chilton will keep his drive with the team for the 2014 Formula 1 season.

The Briton had been included on the team's official FIA entry, which was released yesterday, but was subject to confirmation prior to today's announcement.

"I am really happy to be continuing with the Marussia into a second season. Continuity is important for the team but also for me as a driver," Sky Sports News quotes the 22-year-old as saying.

"You learn such a lot in your debut season, but the second year is when you can really pull all of those new experiences together and show your true potential. That has always been the case for me in the junior categories and I'll be aiming for a similar step in my second year of F1 competition.

"I would like to thank the Marussia F1 Team for their continued faith and support. They are a great bunch of people who are extremely hard-working and ambitious and I can't wait to embark on our 2014 season challenge together."

Chilton, who will drive alongside Belgium's Jules Bianchi, finished every race in his rookie season.
