Lewis Hamilton unafraid to partner Sebastian Vettel & reveals Ferrari ambition

Lewis Hamilton says he would have "happily" gone up against World Champion Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull and admits any future opportunity to drive for Ferrari would appeal to him.

However, appearing to underline the notion that his eventual post-Mercedes career direction could take on any number of turns, Hamilton reiterated his admission from last year that he would also never shut the door on a return to McLaren - also insisting that his relationship with his long-term employers hadn't soured. "Back to McLaren? I could never rule that out," he added. "That's the team I grew up in and it still has a really good place in my heart. People have tried to build negativity around it when there isn't any. There's a really good vibe between us. So yeah, who knows?"
