Giancarlo Fisichella has made clear he has no plans to hang up his helmet.

The Roman is among a scarce few in grand prix history to contest more than 200 races.

Fellow F1 veteran David Coulthard will retire at the end of this season, while Rubens Barrichello is fighting to have his contract renewed.

At the Hockenheim test last week, however, 35-year-old Fisichella made clear he signed a "two year contract" with Force India, beginning in 2008.

Nonetheless asked if he was contemplating retirement, the Italian added: "No".

"I am enjoying myself and love this sport.

"Next year I will still be here," Fisichella clarified, "and only after that will I think about my future -- with this team or with another team, I don't know yet," Fisichella said.
