Domenicali: “Alonso and Vettel together at Ferrari? Never say never"

While Fernando Alonso swore loyalty to Ferrari yesterday by declaring that he wanted to end his Formula 1 career with the Prancing Horse, the Scuderia's team principal, Stefano Domenicali, did not rule out having an Alonso-Vettel dream team in the future.

All this despite the fact that Felipe Massa is ahead of the Spaniard in the world championship standings and has beaten the two-time world champion in qualifying in the first two GPs of the 2013 Formula 1 season. The Brazilian could therefore lead the Red team's offensive at the world championship this year ? “It's too early to say,” Domenicali told Sport Bild.

“But, first of all, I'm happy that Felipe is in good shape, and I'm sure Fernando will be competitive when it counts.”

But the rumors about the possible arrival of Sebastian Vettel in Ferrari do not die down and the Italian has not ruled out this possibility. To those who pointed out that he had implied that Alonso is stronger than Vettel, Domenicali replied: “I never said that. You know that I really respect Sebastian a lot. Hats off to him. Even though his critics say that he has the best car and is the luckiest, just look at his statistics. His successes are a fact. Alonso and Vettel together? They are two intelligent drivers and the team is able to manage the situation with clear rules. Never say never".
