Waiting to see the pace of the 248 F1 packageSeven time world champion Michael Schumacher says he will decide soon whether or not to quit Formula One.
The German, after again testing at a rainy Mugello track last Friday, told Bild newspaper that he still has not determined if 2006 is to be his last year with Ferrari and the pinnacle of motor sport.
"Let me drive a few races (in 2006)," Schumacher told the newspaper, "and then we`ll see how it looks."
He insisted that - to impact positively on his decision - Ferrari must be a `frontrunner`, unlike last season when his red car slumped in the field.
Schumacher added: "I can be world champion again."
Ferrari`s Technical Director, Ross Brawn, added that the pace of the team`s Japanese made Bridgestone tyres - defeated at 95 per cent of Grand Prix last year - will be crucial.
"The 248 F1 is good," said the Englishman, "but whether we can win or not depends on the tyres."
