MILAN (Reuters) - Red Bull's Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel continued to pay lavish compliments to Ferrari on Tuesday, joking he would finance a year's holiday for Fernando Alonso so he could drive the famous red car.
"I'm happy at Red Bull but I dream of Ferrari," the German was quoted as saying by Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I would pay a year's holiday to (Ferrari driver) Alonso to have the red car."
The 23-year-old has often maintained it was every driver's wish to one day race for Ferrari but his continued comments make uncomfortable reading for title holders Red Bull.
"I would like a podium at Monza with Ferrari. And one day I hope to have a Ferrari in my garage," he also told Italy's La Stampa.
"Despite being at Red Bull there are lots of Italians supporting me."
Alonso finished second to Vettel in last year's championship but fellow Ferrari driver Felipe Massa had a difficult campaign and his future will be under scrutiny once the new season starts in Bahrain on March 13.
