Double world champion Sebastian faced questions on comments attributed to Ferrari team principal Srefano Domenicali on Ferrari's official website saying that the German and Fernando Alonso could co-exist quite happily at Maranello.

Speculation about such a partnership has risen since rumours of an option between Vettel and Ferrari for the 2014 season gathered strength.

"It's nice to hear that," Vettel said in Valencia. "I respect Ferrari a lot and I respect Fernando a lot. I see it as a compliment and I'm flattered, obviously.

"I've always said that Ferrari is a great team with a great history and tradition but, as I've said before, I'm very happy with where I am at the moment. This kind of talk doesn't unsettle me; you are much better off having all your focus on this year. The media will always find something to write about!"
