It's a done deal for Sergio Perez for next season, although the Mexican stopped short of revealing the identity of the team he'll be racing for in 2019.
Speaking to the media after Saturday's qualifying session for the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa - in which Perez qualified P4 - the Force India driver was reluctant to provide any details but said they would come soon enough.
Obviously, a not-so-wild guess would be an extension of Perez's deal with Force India, or the new Force India, where he is expected to be paired with Lance Stroll next season.
"For me I already know what I'm doing next year, but I cannot communicate it yet," he said.
“I don't think it'll be long from now. We are not in a hurry, I think," he added, speaking to Motorsport.com.
Earlier in the day, right after qualifying, TV cameras eavesdropped on a conversation between Sebastian Vettel and Perez's team mate, Esteban Ocon.
Vettel queried the Frenchman on his plans for 2019, with Ocon telling the German that his "seat is taken" at Force India - by Stroll. Vettel than inquired about the other seat, referring to Perez.
"The other one brings money," said Ocon, spilling the beans!
