Sergio Perez says he has "a number of options" to keep driving in Formula 1 next year.
The Mexican was recently among those who triggered Force India's administration and subsequent sale, due to unpaid salary payments.
'I'm lucky that I have options'
Lance Stroll, whose father Lawrence is spearheading the consortium that has bought the team, is now linked with a 2019 seat.

When asked what his own plans are for next year, Perez said: "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.
So I have to think about what is the best option for me. The best place to show my skills.
In the 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 has the most potential," he is quoted by Finland's MTV.
The 28-year-old said he is in no rush to make his decision.
"I have no hurry because I know I'm in good shape. 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," added Perez.
