Stefano Domenicali has refused to rule out the possibility that Sebastian Vettel will one day reside in a Ferrari cockpit.

When asked about 22-year-old Vettel, a two-time winner in 2009 for Red Bull Racing, Ferrari's team principal answered: "Never say never."

"I like him very much; his character is very positive and independent," Ferrari's team principal said of the German youngster. "For his age he is far ahead both technically and mentally," Domenicali told Germany's Auto Bild.

The Italian acknowledged that Michael Schumacher, Ferrari's most successful driver in history and now an advisor to the Maranello team, holds his compatriot in high regard.

"He has no doubts about how good Sebastian is," Domenicali said.

Toro Rosso technical director Giorgio Ascanelli has thanked Sebastian Vettel for his driving skills in being able to achieve strong results, including a race win, in the second half of last season. With a new driver and significant aerodynamics update coming in Hungary next weekend, the Italian is positive over the team's chances.

"The first is that the drivers are very important and last year Vettel matured enormously, getting over the difficult phase every young driver does, not understanding why he was fast or slow. A second factor was that, last year, within the limits of our own capabilities, we went down a different route to Red Bull Racing, particularly with suspension and the braking system that was different to their car. The third point is that we were racing in an era where the technical rules had been more or less stable for a decade, so performance levels flatten out, making it harder to come up with something new. This year, the pace of development has speeded up enormously and, as a small team, we have been unable to keep up with that."

"It's not as simple as saying 'last year we made a technical step forward for the second half of the year and performed well, so the same thing will happen again.' - last year, the Italian media was keen for me to puff out my chest and say 'oh yes, I am very clever and I have managed to outperform our Red Bull cousins!' but the simple answer about the end of last year is that Vettel is a great driver. I wasn't a genius last year but I don't think I am an idiot this year!"

Ralf Schumacher claims that, by 'allowing' Mark Webber to take victory in Sunday's German Grand Prix, the Red Bull Racing team is compromising its chances of clinching the World Championship title this season. With the Australian currently behind his team-mate in the standings, Schumacher believes that Sebastian Vettel is the stronger driver of the pairing.

With a second consecutive Red Bull one-two result being led home by Mark Webber for the first time at the Nürburgring, Schumacher blamed the team's tactics for something which he believes could cost it the title. "There is no stable order in the case of Red Bull," Ralf told Motorsport Total. "The title is the most important thing and the team is making a mistake (by allowing its drivers to race). Sebastian is the stronger driver and needs every point he can get."

Schumacher, who retired from the Toyota team and F1 at the end of 2007, added to his criticism of the Austrian squad by explaining the comfort of Jenson Button's 21-point cushion over closest man Vettel. "In two races' time I would say that Button will no longer be in the clutches of Red Bull, even though the Brawn does seem to have some weaknesses, especially regarding the handling of the tyres when temperatures are cooler," the German explained. "There is still a chance but Red Bull certainly must collect every point possible (with Vettel)
