Finnish driver Heikki Kovalainen insists he has not yet given up on his Formula 1 career.
After losing his Caterham race seat, the Finn's hopes have been raised again with two more Friday practice drives at Spa last weekend, and Monza up next.
But he admitted at Spa that if the team factors driver sponsorship into its race seat deliberations "again, then the return is not in my hands".
It is suggested Kovalainen, 31, might instead follow the likes of Sebastien Buemi, Nick Heidfeld, Bruno Senna and Kamui Kobayashi into endurance racing, including Le Mans.
However, Kovalainen told Finnish correspondent Heikki Kulta that he is not yet thinking about a similar move.
"This year, I have been asked to do many different projects in many different categories. But I don't feel so interested in them," he insisted.
"It's because I have the feeling that I have more to give in Formula 1."
