Sebastian Vettel has once again admitted his desire to race a Ferrari in formula one some day.<\/p>\n
The likely 2011 champion has pledged his immediate future to Red Bull but has always admitted his affection for F1’s more famous marques, including Ferrari and also Mercedes.<\/p>\n
Fernando Alonso said a few days ago that Vettel, 24, is welcome at Ferrari.<\/p>\n
“At the moment we are both bound by contract and I think both of us (are) happy in our teams,” Vettel said in a joint interview with Spaniard Alonso for the German broadcaster RTL.<\/p>\n
“But I have already said that I can imagine sitting in a red car at some point.\u00a0 So who knows?” he added.<\/p>\n
Vettel is vying for victory on Ferrari’s home soil this weekend but he said doing it with a team “with so much history” would be a “great feeling”.<\/p>\n
“In 2008 I had a little bit of that experience with the Italian team Toro Rosso and it was fantastic.\u00a0 I hope I have many years in formula one ahead of me so let’s see what happens,” he added.<\/p>\n
Alonso, meanwhile, said he can imagine having Vettel as a teammate, even though both of them are regarded as the unofficial ‘number 1’ drivers at their respective teams.<\/p>\n
“Why not?” he said.\u00a0 “At the top teams there is no one who does not want two good drivers.<\/p>\n
“It seems as though Sebastian is the number one at Red Bull but I do not say that.\u00a0 For Felipe and me it’s the same; we race with the same conditions and during a season one or the other gets out an advantage.<\/p>\n
“Viewed from the outside it’s as though there’s a team leader and a helper, but for the team it’s best to have two top drivers because it increases the chances of winning the world championship,” added Alonso.<\/p>\n
