(Reuters) - Mexican Sergio Perez said teams in and outside the Formula One paddock had contacted him amid speculation he could be replaced at Racing Point next season by four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel.

The 30-year-old driver has a long-term contract -- something he noted repeatedly in a Thursday video news conference at the Hungarian Grand Prix -- but media reports are persistent in suggesting Vettel is set for the seat.
