Motor Sport: Only a few days after retiring from Formula One, Michael Schumacher has revealed he may consider a return to motor racing.

The seven-time world champion, who turns 38 in January, raced what was thought to be his final Grand Prix at Brazil on Sunday.

But he told Swedish journalist Fredrik af Petersens, in an interview published on www.autosport.com, he would not rule out coming back in the future.

"Why should I?" he said. "For now, in any case, I can only answer in this way. Niki Lauda went back to racing in F1, Mika Hakkinen races in DTM, but all this happened after some time.

"I can't say with any certainty what I will do in two or three years' time."
