Ralf insists he'll be around in '08
The German announced his decision to leave Toyota a few weeks back, after a disappointing season languishing at the back of the grid.
Schumacher’s performance this year had journalists and pundits writing him off, and his announcement on leaving Toyota was seen as confirmation of his exit from the sport entirely.
It is a pity that the season went so badly wrong for me, and for all of us," the six-time race winner told Germany’s Bild-Zeitung.
"But about my future I have no fear, I am not worried. I know things that mean I can sleep peacefully, but I cannot speak about them just yet,” he said.
"Before I moved to Toyota (in 2005), I had to keep it a secret for more than half a year, for various reasons,” he added.
“All I can say now is that I will definitely drive next year in Formula One."
The word ‘drive’ however, does not detail the exact role he will play next year, but Schumacher did leave clues as to which team he would be affiliated with.
The 32-year old admitted his days of earning a monstrous salary are over, hinting at a race seat with a smaller team, or a testing role elsewhere.
"It is true that I no longer need to make many millions, but I will still continue to make money in Formula One. I will definitely not be paying anything to sit in a car, unlike some of the others," he said.
