Briatore undecided on future

The flamboyant Italian's tenure at the outfit has been under the spotlight ever since the team lost Fernando Alonso to McLaren for 2007 - but Briatore insists there is no reason for him to think about leaving.

He claims he is completely undecided about his future - although his feeling at the moment is that he will carry on for some time.

"You know, my contract expires every year," he said. "I will stay as long as I feel I can perform and I feel my people can perform.

"To keep the jobs of 850 people who work for me, and protect my people and put my people at the top of the grid all the time - that is my goal in F1. I love this job.

"The moment I feel I am not hungry any more, I don't have motivation any more and I do not want to risk my people because I want to spend more time on the boat, then I will stop.

"But for the moment I will do it my way. I don't know when I'll stop, maybe next week, I don't care. Or maybe two weeks, or two years or 10. I don't know. Maybe tomorrow?"

He added: "As long as I carry on enjoying myself and I realise I'm doing this job well, I'm staying here. At the moment it looks like I'm doing it better than Ron Dennis and Frank Williams."
