Felipe Massa has declared that he is happy to stay at Williams in 2018.
This year, the British team pulled the Brazilian out of his brief retirement to replace Mercedes-bound Valtteri Bottas.
Team boss Claire Williams said recently that she can imagine Massa, 36, staying next year.
"At the moment, I see no reason why I should not be in Formula 1 next year," Massa said at Silverstone.
"I like the new cars and I'm doing a good job. If Williams wants me, I'll be here. But of course you can never be sure before the contract is signed."
However, Massa added that if he has to accept a move into a less competitive team, he will return once again to retirement.
