Michael Schumacher has vowed to roar into the record books in style by landinghis sixth drivers crown with victory in the title decider in Japan next week.
The German is on the brink of history following yesterday's win in the UnitedStates Grand Prix which left him needing just one point in Suzuka to finallybeat the record he shares with Juan Manuel Fangio.
But Schumacher - who leads sole remaining rival Kimi Raikkonen by nine points- insists he will not adopt a safety-first approach in his Ferrari on Sundayweek.
"My target will be to win another race," said Schumacher after capitalisingon the changing weather conditions at Indianapolis to beat Raikkonen by 18seconds and see Colombia's Juan Pablo Montoya knocked out of contention.
"Obviously I am in a very good position starting the last race needing justone point, basically. But you never know - first we have to finish. But on theother side, I think we have a very reliable car."
Raikkonen was well in control after haring away from pole at the start of the73-lap race with Schumacher struggling early on, but once the rain intervenedthe tyre advantage switched to Ferrari.
The 23-year-old Finn fought back in the later stages to snatch second spotfrom the Sauber of Germany's Heinz-Harald Frentzen to maintain a chance ofbecoming the youngest driver in history to win the title - but it is a very thinone!
"The weather basically lost us the race," said Raikkonen. "I was in controlbut we were not as quick in the wet conditions as Michael.
"The good news is that we still have a chance in Japan but it is much moredifficult now. But I will give it my all as anything can happen in motorracing."
