"I am really looking forward to next year. We have a strong line-up and we would look to bring the team forward and show we are a strong opponent," Perez told reporters in a tele-conference.
"I think a good finish for Force India next season would be a top 5 finish. We are two competitive and young drivers. We both have a lot to prove. We are a very strong and hungry team. I expect ourselves to finish in top 5 and I'm looking forward to a very big challenge," he added.
Perez was hired to replace Lewis Hamilton in McLaren but within a year, the 23-year-old driver was sacked and replaced by Kevin Magnussen after he picked up just 35 points during 2013.
"It was probably the worst possible year in McLaren. It was a competitive task and I could not improve myself in a top team. I believe one day I will have my chance," he said.
"I was informed by McLaren very late. So ya, there was a bit of uncertainty but I had few offers and I am glad it worked out well at last.
