Sergio Perez confirms that he has signed a deal for 2019 but has not yet announced who for.

The announcement regarading Perez's future is expected to be soon.

The Mexican driver is expected to remain at Force India, now known as Racing Point Force India despite speculation he could be moving to McLaren.

Lance Stroll is expected to replace Esteban Ocon for next season following Stroll's father taking over Force India.

"For me, I already know what I will be doing next year, but I cannot communicate yet," Perez confirmed to the media following Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.

"Who knows, probably. I don't think it'll be long from now. We are not in a hurry."

Perez revealed that an update for his Force India car should be with them in time for the Singapore Grand Prix next month.

"Singapore is actually the one that was expected already," Perez explained. "It was in the programme. We're getting a good one for Singapore. I think we should be looking really for the new owners, the start of next year should be the target to really kick out new things and try to be on a much higher level."
