Sebastian Vettel has admitted he would jump at the chance to drive for the Ferrari F1 team.
Speaking to Italian paper Gazzetta dello Sport, the young German said "to have your name written among the names of world champions is special, but having it in the list of the Ferrari drivers would be special too".

Vettel said it was his ‘dream' to race for Maranello one day, but is happy with his current team, who won last year's Constructor's Championship.
When asked who he would race for if it wasn't for Red Bull, he jokingly said, "I would probably offer Alonso and Massa a vacation".
His boss, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, was relaxed about his driver's comments.
He said: "The Italians get very excited when world champions talk about Ferrari. One of the things we encourage is freedom of expression. He's hopefully got a long future ahead of him, but for the foreseeable future he is very much committed to Red Bull."

With the political unrest going on at the moment in Bahrain, think the first race should be cancelled. Still remember how utterly boring that race was last year.. ..and yes the mystic of driving for the Maranello badge says so much how a pilot's really made it in F1 but that shouldn't take your mind off whose actually dominating the events. Red Bull is at the top of their game and honestly assuming you know where they stand, as a top F1 pilot ( Vettel ) you wouldn't just suddenly think of switching sides. Also it's good for the sport to see a variation in team standings up till the last race, it's better for racing, tactics, viewing and discussions.
