Recently it was announced by Williams team that Sam Michael has resigned from his post of Technical Director and will be leaving the team after 2011 as his contract ends this season.
Sam Michael confirmed his willingness to stay in Formula One with some other team.
"I'll clearly be in formula one next year," said Michael, who started his F1 career with Jordan and Lotus in the 90s. "Where? I don't know yet. I can't talk about it."
In May 2004 he became technical director, but Williams struggled to create a winning package and slipped down the field.
Michael, who has received backing from Rubens Barrichello and Mark Webber in recent days, insisted it was his decision to quit Williams and has been bouyed by the interest of other teams.
"I've had some interest already from outside, which is encouraging," he said.
But he insists he will remain loyal to his currently employer in the immediate term and is desperate to turn their fortunes around.
"The message I've been sending is that I really want to spend at least the next couple of months getting the FW33 to where it should be and where I know it is as a base car because my priority is that first," Michael explained.
"I have seven months left at Williams and my contract with them is to develop the car and make sure it's as high performing and reliable as possible.
