Adrian Sutil wants a few more days before he makes a decision over his Force India future. While hehas an offer, speculation linking him with Renault continues and he is also being touted as a possible replacement for Nico Hülkenberg at Williams.

"I am closer to making a decision, and it will be soon, very soon," Sutil was quoted as saying by autosport. "For one month now I have said that, but once you are in the situation I am in, then you always think twice. But it should not take too long because I want to plan and I want to know where I go. But it looks quite good.

"The decision is pretty much in my hands. I just want to make sure that I do the right thing. That is why I need a little bit of thinking time."

Tonio Liuzzi is contracted to Force India in 2011 and it is widely reported Paul di Resta will be offered a seat as well. Were Sutil to move on, it would save the team having to make a tough decision as to who it chose.

Sutil, meanwhile, said he was not concerned with some commentators saying he needed to move on to further his career. "I think for sure once you are too long in a team then you probably feel for yourself that you need to move on, you need a new challenge and you need another team, but I am still okay here. I am enjoying it to be here.

"The first few years were a bit strange and difficult with a lot of team changes, team owner changes, but now I am in the third season with the real Force India, and that is not too long. So it's been a strong team for two years, which is why I am pretty good here still and enjoying it."
