Brazilian Rubens Barrichello thinks he has another two or three seasons of formula one racing in him.

The 35-year-old is already the most experienced driver on the grid, who - according to some statisticians - will equal Riccardo Patrese's all-time record of 256 grands prix this weekend in Bahrain.

But the Brazilian, whose Honda contract runs out at the end of the year, told the online magazine GPWeek that 2008 is not his F1 swansong.

"It's not my final year," Barrichello said. "I want to finish my career with more than 300 grands prix and slick tyres, all that!"
