Sergio Perez admits that he has "a number of options" for next season in Formula One.
Sergio Perez looks unlikely to stay at Force India, since he was one of those who triggered Force India going into administration due to unpaid salary.
Force India have since got out of the rut, but the Mexican's future looks uncertain at the side.
Perez was asked what 2019 holds for his Formula One career, and answered: "I'm lucky that I have a number of options.
"Of course, we all want to drive for the two best teams, but it's really unlikely I will be there next season," Perez told Finland's MTV.
"So I have to think about what is the best option for me. The best place to show my skills.
"In my previous two years I was the best driver outside the top three teams. I want to see what is possible with the teams that have free seats, and then I'll make my decision.
"But I also want to see what's happening here, because outside of the top three teams, I think Force India have the most potential."
Perez says he is in no rush to make a conclusive decision for next season.
"I have no hurry because I know I'm in good shape," Perez added.
"I believe during the summer break I will have a good idea of what's going on here, and after that I can make a decision."
