You like to drive a Ferrari?
and their famous red cars would surely be tempting.
Ferrari star Sebastian Vettel, who finished second to Lewis Hamilton in last year’s F1 championship, is confident his team will sign up suitable talent for what he sees as a key role.
‘‘Personally, I’m not a fan of the simulator because it’s just not fun,’’ Vettel told Corriere dello Sport.
‘‘But you get the point, it is very important, it is an important tool. Based on our findings, we change the car, it is better and we were happier.
‘‘We’re extremely thankful for the guys, taking in the time because it’s not the nicest job on Friday night, especially when you’re young, but it’s important, it all adds up.
‘‘Everybody plays his part and in the end we have the honour to have the steering wheel in our hands and drive the machine that we all try to create and reach out with performance.’’
Ferrari finished second to Mercedes in the 2018 F1 constructors’ championship but made significant gains with their cars that should roll into the new year.
Former Williams driver Sergey Sirotkin is the other big name alongside Hartley being mentioned as a dedicated simulator driver.
Contracted Ferrari test drivers Marc Gene and Davide Rigon are also in the mix, though there are strong suggestions the team wants someone with significant F1 experience.
