Does he think this is going to get everyone at RB pulling behind him?

[SGWilko]

Errrrrrr, wasn't Kubica being lined up for a Ferrari seat in the near future? WIth Robert temporarily and possibly completely out of the picture, Vettel is just banging his fists on his chest to stake his claim perhaps..........?

[maxter]

I'm pretty sure we've already had this discussion just a few months ago after a nearly identical quote from Vettel?

[Retro Formula 1]

We have indeed but when he keeps coming out with it then it's bound to have an effect on the team.

I'm sure Torres didn't keep saying he wanted to be at Chelsea when he was at Liverpool for example. My boss wouldn't be too impressed if I started wanting to work for a competitor as as for telling the missus that I'd give the local barmaid one :blackeye:

It seems strange that Seb is going out of his way to court Ferrari.

[Tazio]

The quotes from the man-child appear to come from Italian news sources, or from questions asked by their journalists'. He has repeated them so many times now it's becoming a non-story.
We get it; you would like to drive for Ferrari some day :s nore:

Let me fix that one:

WIth Robert temporarily and possibly completely out of the picture, the tabloid guys need something to write about perhaps..........?

shouldn't the title be 'what motivates Vettel? Not Red Bull!' ;)

LOL

Or possibly:

"Red Bull Gives Vettel Wings (to fly off to Ferrari)"

Webber has been solid for them and only lost his rag when Vettel gets better treatment yet Vettel is the driver they choose to promote.

:crazy:

joking he would finance a holiday for Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa so he could drive the red car.

[Mia 01]

Theres a lot of people on this and many other boards who fear that Red Bull once moore will be the car to beat and that Seb and Adrian will take another one. the probability is at the moment huge.

[Ari]

No shocks here.

Only difference between Vettel and other drivers out there is Vettel is being straight forward with it.

He knows he owes RBR a bit and is paying his due. I would think after another couple years and maybe another WDC / WCC he has paid his dues and should have no problems getting a red seat.

I don't think anyone, least of all RBR, would be shocked to hear of Vettel in a Ferrari someday. It's just all about timing.

[gloomyDAY]

So? Vettel is not the first driver to have such sentiments while driving for another team.

[ioan]

Strange how people think that winning the WDC does not motivates Vettel's team.
Maybe being 3rd is more motivating?! :rolleyes:

Ioan. You were the one waxing lyrical about how your former #1 team (Ferrari if you have forgotten) were so sucessful because Schumacher was such a committed and positive focal point within the team. Schumacher was 100% behind Ferrari and the team were 100% behind him.

Did Schumacher ever say "It's good at Ferrari but I'd pay millions if only I could get a drive with Mercedes."

The difference is Vettel is young, and young people talk first and think afterwards...sometimes they dont even think at all!!!

[RJL25]

I still maintain, you would never hear of a Manchester City player saying that he one day dreamed of playing for Manchester United, and hoped to acheive this goal later in his career.

If it did happen, they player would pretty much be sacked.

I don't see how this situation is any different. I believe Sebastien's comments undermine the credibility of Red Bull, as if to say that no matter how successful they become, they will still lack the prestige of Ferrari. These are the kind of comments that would go down extreemly poorly with sponsors

[555-04Q2]

as if to say that no matter how successful they become, they will still lack the prestige of Ferrari.

That line is the answer. No team has or will ever have the prestige that Ferrari has. They are the only team to compete for the entire time that modern F1 has been around. They have history and prestige. Red Bull is an energy drink backed team, Ferrari have their road car division that all young boys dream of one day owning. I have never seen a young boy dream of owning a Red Bull can one day! It is a no contest. Only Macca can come close to Ferrari.

Funny how people will try to draw a parallel where there isn't one in order to make a point that does not exist.

And on top of the above you are not Australian and certainly not a deeply hurt Webber fan! :laugh:

[Mia 01]

In the end is all about money and glory as for the other teams.

[markabilly]

vettel appears to seldom have a thought in his brain that does not come sprewing out his mouth.......

but it appeares tha red bull will be the team to beat this year, and none of the others have shown much toward that except perhaps the kube and his renault...but now look at the situ with him out....

[CNR]

Despite his comments about remaining at Red Bull Racing, Webber did not deny that a switch to Ferrari – as he was also linked with last year – could not be totally ruled out.

When asked which team could lure him away from Red Bull Racing, Webber said: "Driving those red cars has always held that romantic attraction…"

Once upon a time, there was a young two-time WDC from Benneton joined team red because he wanted the challenge. Just coincidence...

Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel has extended his contract with Red Bull until the end of the 2014 season.

The deal for the sport's youngest champion should end speculation that he could defect to Ferrari.

[gloomyDAY]

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2011/03/14/2141080/f1-champion-vettel-signs-new-deal.htmlI'm glad Vettel extended his contract, but hate to see it for such a long time. I wish it was only through 2013, so if the Red Bull didn't go as well after the new regulation, then Vettel would have the flexibility to move to another team.
