In the second part of his long interview for Motorsport Italy, Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Sebastian Vettel reflects on his Formula 1 future alongside the Maranello team.

Here are some of Sebastian’s most important quotes from his interview:

“I have some ideas, but I haven’t decided. But today I’m still in Formula 1. I think I am in a very lucky position, which will allow me to try to do many things the day when I decide to stop racing in F1. Maybe I will stay in racing, competing elsewhere or I will do something different in motorsport.”

“We have done many races. I think there have been great moments as well as less good days, but as I said the goal remains the same. My goal is still to win with Ferrari. My goal is always the same (becoming F1 champion with Ferrari), because we haven’t achieved it yet. Mercedes has beaten us in recent years, so the mission always remains the same.”

“I believe that all of us should show that we appreciate it, to be happy that we can do it and to enjoy a time that a little while ago we said was not infinite. This is the key for me. At some point, money stops being the most important thing, but there is always the desire to enjoy what you are doing. Ours is a job that only a few people can do.”

Sebastian Vettel (about decisions being depended on the salary): “If money motivates you, then battle for that, there are many men in the sport and business driven by earnings. I think the real question to ask is: when is the money enough? For example look at Kimi: he certainly can’t fight for victory now. I think he would like to do it, if he could choose to do it. But in the end, if you are driven by passion, you find satisfaction, you can also have fun driving and racing alone. It goes without saying that if you find yourself at P15 after having spent your life at P18, you seem to have reached the most beautiful thing in the world. If you won a lot I think you want to win again.”

Sebastian Vettel about whether he would have the same passion/motivations if he is racing for a midfield team : “I don’t know, I can’t give you an answer to this question. I don’t really know. When I was in the middle of the grid, I was at the beginning of my career in F1.”
