Perez is contracted for next season and team principal Christian Horner has insisted the Mexican will start the year alongside Max Verstappen, despite his stuttering recent form.
But speaking to DAZN in Spain, Perez implied that he could leave the five-time constructors’ champion outfit on his own terms if he felt as though he could not contribute anymore.
He said: “I also want to be in an environment in which I feel like I can contribute and if that place for 2024 isn't here, we have to look for other alternatives.”
Ahead of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, Perez added that the early races of next season will help him and Red Bull to make an early call on their further together.
He said: “For me, I'm staying here for another year and then we will see. It's how I see things.
“I think we want to get through this year as competitively as possible, start next year.
“And I think early next year, we will have a clearer picture on what the team wants to do and what I want to do.”
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko and Horner have repeatedly stated that the requirement for Perez is to finish runner-up to Verstappen in the drivers’ standings.
