Vettel jokes about Ferrari exit rumors

Vettel mocks the biased British media, says Hamilton is already a Ferrari driver since he has several in his garage

(GMM) Sebastian Vettel has issued a smiling rebuke to rumors that he could be forced out of Ferrari.

The German was asked about speculation that Lewis Hamilton could be heading to the Maranello team to become Charles Leclerc's future teammate.

"But Hamilton is already a Ferrari driver," Vettel smiled. "I think he already has a few Ferraris in his garage. He is a good customer of ours."

As for his own plans, Vettel poked fun at the speculation spurred on by members of the F1 media.

"If I listen to you (journalists), then I think I will be on vacation next year," he said.

"I don't know who started the rumor, but they seem to know more than me. And as journalists are always right, I guess there will be news in the coming weeks," Vettel joked.
