.....that Michael won't be retiring. As stated yesterday by this website, the press conference was no more than just saying a thank you to everyone.

Of course Schumacher had to speak of the rumours that hit the net. "I've heard that I was about to announce my retirement but I'm very sorry I'll have to disappoint whoever was thinking along those lines,"

"I've got competition in my blood, I live for it. I'll carry on as long as this instinct lasts and I remain competitive," Schumacher added.

The next grand prix is at Monza on September 12 when Ferrari's Italian fans will have a chance to celebrate their success and Schumacher says he is looking forward to it.

"From now on racing will be more enjoyable because I will be able to concentrate on every single race starting with Monza, without needing to think about tactics. I'll just be able to race," he said.

The 35-year-old German said it was not yet time to reflect on his success.

"To be honest I never look back, I focus on the next objectives. There are the winter months to take in fully what I have achieved," he said.
