I'll race in 2012, claims Michael Schumacher

Earlier this month, a sports magazine published news about Schumacher stating that he didn't know if his "mindset is right for this team" and was considering his future.

Michael’s manager Sabine Kehm denied the reports, saying that "Michael has not spoken with anyone from the Sports Magazine."

On a recent Mercedes' function he said that he will certainly be racing next year.

He added up by saying "We will have to see how things develop and how much energy and fun is still there; it would be arrogant if one expects us to fight for the title next year, at the moment we are too far behind".

Schumacher is currently there in the 10th place in this year's Drivers' standings with a massive 202 points behind Sebastian Vettel.
