December 31st, 1969
Dec.1 (GMM) Sebastian Vettel has admitted racing in formula one with Ferrari would be "a dream".
The German driver, who won September's Italian grand prix from pole, was among the standouts of the 2008 season.
After just 26 career grands prix, the 21-year-old is moving up from Toro Rosso to the main Red Bull Racing team in 2009.
Asked by the Spanish newspaper El Pais if he would rather become world champion or achieve a Ferrari contract, he answered: "Be world champion.
"But, being realistic, you can't do that unless you are in one of the best cars, and Ferrari has shown that it knows how to make them.
"Of course, it would be a dream to race one of them," Vettel said.
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."
