During last days Sebastian Vettel, interviewed by El Pais said that it would be a dream win the world title with Ferrari. Interviewed by SKY Sport 24, Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari's team principal, answers to Red Bull's driver: “Sebastian is one of the best young talents of the Formula One. He understood that we are an important team. We will see what will happen in the future."

Sebastian Vettel has revealed that his dream is to win the F1 World title and to do so while racing for Ferrari. The Red Bull Racing driver has already been tipped as a future F1 Champion, with those claims gaining some credence when he won this year's Italian GP while racing for Toro Rosso. And although his dream of winning the World title is still someway off, Vettel concedes his other dream of racing for Ferrari may have to come true before he can claim the crown.

Asked whether he'd rather be World Champion or drive for Ferrari, Vettel told El Pais: "To be World Champion. But, being realistic, you cannot win the title unless you have one of the best cars on the grid. And Ferrari have demonstrated that they know how to make them. Of course, it would be a dream to race one of their cars in the future."

And should the German ever race for Ferrari it would be another step towards cementing the German media's nickname for the 21-year-old 'Baby Schumi'. Vettel, though, says he's his own man.

"As a child he (Schumacher) was my idol and he continues to be so. He is a great person, nothing arrogant about him. But I'm not trying to imitate him," he said. "Everyone must find his own style. You can never copy an Alonso or a Schumacher. Fernando is, and always will be, his own man and when someone comes behind they will not be the new Alonso. As it is so with Schumacher. There is no one like them. They are unique."

Vettel is known for being among the friendliest competitors in the paddock. But he laughed to El Pais: "If you want to find a good friend in the paddock, bring your dog."
