Vettel claims he was joking about Ferrari drive

When Auto Bild asked Sebastian Vettel about his recent commments about wanting a Ferrari drive, he said:

"I was asked what I would do if for some reason I couldn't drive for Red Bull. So I said I would send either Fernando or Felipe on a great holiday so they could leave me their car. I said it because Ferrari will have a very strong car this season, so it would certainly be my first choice. But probably not everyone completely understands my sense of humour"

So he claims.
Sounds to me like Helmut Marko wasn't too happy with Vettel's earlier comments - either that or Vettel has a poor sense of humour.

 

I said this at the time. His words were twisted and taken completely out of context.

 

But ever since his Torro Rosso days he's been talking about his desire to race for Ferrari.

 

Vettel and Alonso in the same team would definitely create some fireworks! I hope it happens one day!

 

Has he? I guess it's natural that he'd want to emulate the career of his hero. It's probably more to do with that than the brand.

 

I cant see Alonso allowing Ferrari to have a strong team mate to partner him, especially after he was beaten by a rookie
