Just for fun?

With the Formula One title all but out of reach, Michael Schumacher said one of his goals in the Brazilian Grand Prix will be to enjoy his last race as a F1 driver.

``I will try to have fun,'' said the Ferrari driver, who is retiring from F1 after Sunday's race.

A seven-time champion, Schumacher needs to win at the 4.1-kilometre Interlagos circuit and hope rival Fernando Alonso fails to finish in the top eight.

``Interlagos is fascinating and I have always liked it ...'' Schumacher said. ``It throws up a lot of exciting races.''

Schumacher said Ferrari's strategy in Brazil is simple: ``Attack. We are aiming for a one-two (finish), nothing less.''

The constructors' title race is tighter than the drivers', with Ferrari trailing Renault 195-186 in points. There are still 20 points at stake in the final race of the season.

``The boys deserve the title,'' Schumacher said. ``Whoever is able to turn around a situation like the one we found ourselves in this year, climbing back to the top and working extremely hard and passionately, merits huge respect.''
