He hasn't even started his comeback season yet and Michael Schumacher is already hinting that he may drive beyond his 3-year contract with Mercedes.

According to an article on ESPN, Schumacher told reporters, "It doesn't have to be the end after three years – the three-year deal was Mercedes' intent and it was a sign of confidence. I thought about everything very carefully: Am I just spontaneously high or will my enthusiasm last? I have been excited for quite some time and can imagine doing this for a few years."

Well, we can all imagine driving Formula One for years, whether or not he'll actually be healthy to pull it off is quite another matter.
